"Facing a soaring rental market and no hope of ever owning her own home, Ms
Shambrook and several other women turned to the newly formed foundation Sharing
With Friends.

The organisation, which is currently applying for charitable status, aims to
provide an opportunity for women to buy into an affordable, custom-built home.

The prototype is designed to fit on an 800-square-metre suburban block of land
provided by the charity.

The idea is that five women each invest $120,000, which pays for the
construction of affordable purpose-built accommodation consisting of five
private living quarters, with a communal laundry, library, and garden."

Share and enjoy,
