[Re]claiming Co-Produced Housing Dialogues – Session 3

Session 3:

Resourcing for Meaningful Co-production

Thursday, 12 February 2026

Resourcing is a fundamental barrier to the successful implementation and long-term sustainability of co-produced housing and co-produced urban development strategies. The session explores the in-kind, technical, and financial support required to sustain and scale these initiatives into systemic, resilient solutions and highlights advocacy efforts and recommendations for more socially and environmentally responsible resourcing mechanisms, directly accessible by community-led initiatives, as well as local and regional governments.

Specifically, the session focuses on:

• Unpacking funding / resourcing mechanisms to strengthen community-led co-production, including community-led finance and savings-based models, cooperatives, public funding and public commons partnership, alongside forms of technical and professional support.
• Exploring processes to scale such mechanisms in ways that re-engage public and private institutions alongside communities.
