Company Description
Caledonian Foundation is a charity that pioneers the debt-free "Micro Equity Home Ownership" model, offering fair rent and the opportunity for the tenant to buy their home one share at a time. The Foundation aims to create a new home ownership model to address the current housing crisis.

Project Description
The Foundation is launching a series of “Micro Equity” projects around the country to raise capital through issuing community shares to ethical investors to purchase residential properties to rent to homeless families with children. The families will have the opportunity to buy their home one share at a time with their spare cash. The sense of ownership will provide stability for the family to recover from their difficulties.

This model will partner with local Christian communities to form support networks for the tenants. This will provide excellent opportunities for the Christian communities to outreach to families in need.
