By creating genuinely affordable, healthy homes in the heart of Plymouth, our community can be part of the solution to tackle fuel poverty and climate change. This organisation is in the preliminary stages of being established.
We want to:
- Use excellent design and clean energy to build affordable homes fit for the future.
- Give local people the chance to choose a comfortable home with low bills and a fair rent; one that supports a sustainable lifestyle, promotes quality health and well-being and importantly, provides a stable, long-term home to be proud of.
- Offer an ethical and innovative management model that allows our community to buy community shares and cooperatively run this business, just like we do with our solar installations. This way, local people can plan, design and determine the outcome, potentially earn a fair return and ensure any profits are re-invested to benefit the whole community.
We want local people to help with the details: design, waste, energy, transport, food, and ownership and bring it together to shape how we make it happen!
In March 2020, PEC Homes became an official entity, and was established as a Community Benefit Society.
