East Wick Sweetwater
An opportunity for a community led housing organisation to deliver 16 affordable homes within the Hackney Wick town centre boundary as part of the East Wick neighbourhood in Hackney.
East Wick + Sweetwater Projects (EW+S) is the development partner for the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), delivering over 1,850 new homes across 7 phases, on the western edge of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park as part of the wider Legacy Community Scheme. This community led opportunity already has outline permission for 16 homes and two non-residential units, and forms part of the 34% of affordable homes on the site.
Visit the EW+S website for further information on the opportunity and the Expression of Interest form.
London Filipino Cohousing
A Filipino Community group aiming to build a mixed tenure, intergenerational cohousing community.
The London Filipino Co-Housing Project was initiated in early 2019 by four households from the Filipino community in London.
The project, which is supported by Bahay-Kubo Housing Association and Kanlungan Filipino Consortium, is keen to address the issue of housing affordability which often faces low paid Filipino migrant workers working in the public sector, particularly those employed in health and social care.
How we’re helping:
We have helped to identify a site and have committed a small amount of funding for an initial feasibility study and will be supporting wider business planning.
