A Shared Vision | for the future

Having a shared understanding of what we are working towards is the first step towards achieving our vision of empowered people, thriving co operatives and better housing solutions..

In 2022 extensive consultation was undertaken with members of the CEHL Housing Program to understand the ‘Benefits of Living in a CEHL Co op’. This has informed the development of a Program Outcomes Framework and a Member Value Statement to guide CEHL and co ops around how we can positively impact members’ lives and measure tangible outcomes.

The finalisation of the work is expected in late 2022. It will shape how we work in partnership with co ops and members in the future, including what services and supports are most important, where to target funds and resources, and how to foster strong, effective, and connected co ops.

The consultation for the project was facilitated by nine co op members appointed as Engagement Co ordinators to lead the design and delivery of an extensive member consultation process and to develop a shared understanding of the benefits of living in co-operative housing.

The Engagement Co ordinators facilitated 12 regional events across Victoria. It was a wonderful example of collaboration between Engagement Co ordinators, CEHL staff, the Co op Program Committee and co op member participants.

We acknowledge and celebrate the valuable contribution the Engagement Co ordinators made to this important pilot project.
