Want to live in a home without a landlord? Want to pay a fair rent and bills during the cost of living/economic crisis? Want to take control of your housing situation? Want to feel cared-for and enhanced by those that you live with?

Gung Ho Housing Co-op in south Birmingham is looking for a lovely new housemate! We look forward to welcoming you.

In a nut shell, Gung Ho (meaning “enthusiastic” and “working together”) is a politically active community-lead home with 5 bedrooms.

We especially welcome applications from ethnic minority/(dis)abled/LGBTQ+ folks, and other people that find it hard to rent or share a house usually.
