Help Roost go nationwide

First Roost launches in Hackney - 999,999 to go 🏡
Some good news today. Our offer was accepted on a 3-bed home in Hackney - it’s our first Roost and we can’t wait to transform it into a thriving co-op.
Our mission is to solve the housing crisis through community-ownership, so this is a step in the right direction. But our waiting list is already exploding. And delivering 1 million community homes is no easy feat.
How will we create 1 million Roosts?
That’s where our tech comes in. We have built our first tool - it’s going to help anyone on our waiting list find suitable homes, at the right monthly budget.
This tool, paired with financial backing from non-profits and impact investors, will allow you to become a co-op faster. But we need your help to launch it.
We’re raising £10,000 - can you help us?
We need funds to share our technology and scale nationally. If you help us reach our target, we will be able to:
Launch the first Roost tool - it’ll ensure members on our waiting list can find suitable homes on their phone.
Anything raised over the target will go towards hiring someone to help us chat to more of our waiting list and chase estate agents on the phone - so we can get more homes into community ownership, faster
To say thanks we’re throwing in some exclusive Roost perks. Members on our waiting list get first access to Roost keys, which you can use once the app launches. We can also set up your new home with a board game or get us to help you pack and move in!
Let’s scale housing co-ops together. This will change renters lives nationwide, and move a million homes into community ownership.
