Find home in my northwest

We want to give new life to unused houses in the countryside while creating opportunities for people with less capital to find a home. Through networks, workshops, and sustainable solutions, we will show that the Skåne countryside is an attractive and future-friendly place where resources are utilized.

The project aims to make use of the unused houses that exist in the countryside and give people with less capital the opportunity to find a home in the Skåne countryside. Although some smaller projects have been carried out in various municipalities, none in our Leader area have reached all the way. Now we want to map what has been done so far, what collaborations have been made, and what success factors and obstacles have been identified.

Our project targets three groups: land and property owners, people looking for housing in the countryside, and the municipalities. By building networks, we want to see the vacant houses as a resource for the countryside. We will hold workshops and lectures on building care, building regulations, law, financing, and sustainability.

We strive to develop a working method for how to reuse vacant houses while promoting the Skåne countryside as an attractive and sustainable place where resources are utilized.
