Find home
in my northwest
Do you dream of a life in the Skåne countryside? Do you have a house you can no longer take care of? Or are you simply curious about old houses and the stories they carry? Regardless of who you are or why you have found your way here – a warm welcome!
So what is the question?
Find home in My Northwest is a leader project that wants to bring life to something that already exists – our empty houses. In a time where sustainability and community are becoming increasingly important, we see the uninhabited houses in our Leader area as an obvious resource to utilize. Here lies potential for both people and places to flourish.
The purpose is to create a movement and spark engagement where abandoned houses are not seen as a problem, but as an opportunity. By mapping where the empty houses are and supporting the owners who are willing to move forward, we want to help find new ways home. The goal is to match the right house with the right house dreamer, thereby contributing to vibrant rural areas, new meetings, and sustainable housing supply.
An important part of the project is also to help you who are dreaming of an older house. We organize lectures and workshops about things that can be good to know before you make a decision. How does it work to buy an older house? What do you need to consider legally? How can you make an old house energy efficient without losing what makes it special?
This and more we will learn together, welcome to join!

Vibrant homes create vibrant villages
Do you want to breathe life into the abandoned houses in your village?
When houses stand empty and decay, it affects not only the house itself, but the entire village. Houses thrive when someone lives in them, and so do villages.
The empty houses can become homes for new friends, a venue for a small business, or why not a new meeting place in the village. Much is possible, but not without you who live and work there.
Do you live in a village or community where there are empty houses? Do you want to do something about it, but don't really know how to start? Contact me. I would be happy to come out to your village to tell you about the project and talk about how the situation looks in your area.
