Shared Ownership Resources is a registered charitable organisation (CIO), led by shared owners and former shared owners for shared owners. Some of us have had a good experience of shared ownership and some of us haven’t. But we all believe there’s room for improvement. You can find more information about us on the Our People page.

How are we funded?

Shared Ownership Resources is funded by a Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) Social Housing Innovation Fund grant (in partnership with the Places Foundation) in 2026-27. We also rely on supporter donations, and fees for speaking and writing on shared ownership topics.
