Caledonian Foundation is a charity pioneering the debt-free "Micro Equity Home Ownership" model where:
- you pay a fair rent for your home, and
- you can buy your home, one share at a time
- the more shares you own, the less rent you pay
- friends and family can buy gift shares for you
- building friendship and family bonds
- making home a peaceful place to build family life
- without the stress of debt
Our Blue Print to make this possible:
1. Set up a Community Land Trust, which is a community cooperative.
2. Issue cooperative shares to raise funds from ethical investors.
3. Purchase homes from families facing repossession or from the open market.
4. Let homes back to distressed families or those on low income at fair rent.
5. Tenants can buy their home, one share at a time, without debt.
6. The more shares the tenants own, the less rent they need to pay.
7. Friends and family can buy gift shares for tenants to help increase ownership.
Who is this for?
- Homeless people who are now at a stage where they can take on a property.
- People facing repossession, who want to keep their home and sort things out.
- First time buyers, who want to buy but can't step onto the ladder.
- Investors who want to invest in their community - not an unethical fund.
