| Description of the project |
USE-IT! stands for Unlocking Social and Economic Innovation Together.
In a nutshell, USE-IT! involves organisations and individuals working together to unlock social and economic opportunities in Ladywood, Soho and Smethwick by linking large capital investments (i.e. the new Midlands Metropolitan Hospital, new housing developments and potential plans for the canals and Edgbaston Reservoir) with local skills, talents and micro-capital.
– Social Enterprise. Supporting the creation of a community of social entrepreneurs and community led businesses.
– Community Research. Local people researching their own communities, finding out about the skills and assets already present, what works and what challenges they face.
– Skills Matching. Matching job skills in the community with demand, initially around the new Midland Metropolitan Hospital.
– Social Finance. Understanding and strengthening community assets and sustainable finance.

| Description of the project |
Initiated in the fall of 2005, the Vertical Village became a reality in June 2013 with the moving in of 14 households, cooperators of our cooperative with variable capital, created in December 2010. Fourteen households from different backgrounds, working together to advance the project. All but one of them are below the social housing ceiling. The vertical villagers each have a home in the ecological building they have designed, sharing certain spaces and resources, to create real neighborhood solidarity, in a project on a human scale combining conviviality, responsibility, savings, mutual aid, ecology and democracy. We are collectively the only owner of our building, and each household rents its housing, within the framework of a democratic management prohibiting any speculation and any profit. |

| Description of the project |
A Casa di Zia Gessy (Aunt Gessy’s Home) is a project that offers temporary social housing solutions (maximum 18 months) with the aim of creating support networks and encouraging the residents’ ability to live independently.
The condominium is a public housing structure, which intends to respond in an innovative way to the housing needs of citizens who reside there, to define itself as a new model of living together that can be replicated in other contexts, to address with a new approach both the response to housing distress, and the relationships of proximity and neighborhood, enhancing the promotion of solidarity between generations through mutual support and participation in socialization activities.
The final objective of the Condominio is the achievement of definitive autonomy of the citizens who live temporarily in the 8 lodgings, but also the consolidation of the Condominio itself as a resource of solidarity networks even after the end of the housing experience and the achievement of definitive autonomy. In other words, the condominium must continue to be a valid point of reference, a support, an example of living together as a positive emulation for all those who have experienced it, in the perspective of permanent mutual aid. |
