Common Ground Against Homelessness has been created to buy properties on behalf of charities, with specific expertise in their field, so they can continue their vital work sustainably. More than just a solution for the financial challenges that charities face, Common Ground is also a solution to the problem of repeat homelessness. Whether helping people recover from drug and alcohol dependence, escape domestice violence or countless other problems, front-line charities are innovators in creating environments that work for people and keep them off the streets. That innovation can only happen when the charity is able to do it’s work without needing to find ever-increasing amounts of money to pay rising rents. By drawing on the power of Community Shares, we will bring together a community of ethical investors who understand that their money can do real good, while earning a competitive rate of interest. The first project to be brought to life is Rowan Alba’s Peffermill residence. Details of how this place will end street homelessness for it’s residents, is ready to view on Common Ground’s website at commongroundagainsthomelessness.org
