NEW PARTNERSHIP MEANS HOUSING CHARITY IS READY TO BUILD AGAIN

HOUSING charity Liverpool Habitat for Humanity has partnered with Cosmopolitan Housing Association in a £2 million deal that secures the future of a unique low-cost building project in Granby-Toxteth.

Homes at the Habitat site off Kingsley Road are built almost entirely by volunteers, including future home owners who must invest 500 hours of 'sweat equity' – physically working on site – in lieu of finding a £10,000 cash deposit.

With nine homes built and eight families housed, building work ground to a halt as the recession hit hard.

Now, a combination of the deal with Liverpool-based Cosmopolitan Housing Association, volunteer help from the Territorial Army's 75 Engineer Regiment to dig drains and build the road that will service the remaining homes, a donation of materials from construction giant Balfour Beatty and subsidiary Birse Civils, plus the backing of Liverpool City Council, means the housing charity can start building again very soon.
