A scheme is underway to give community led housing
schemes a boost in an effort to demonstrate how this can become a viable means
of delivering more homes. Locality has selected 22 community groups around
England for specialist help to start up their own community-led housing
projects as part of a new programme to encourage communities to build housing
for themselves. All over the country
communities are quietly “rebelling” against the housing crisis by building
their own, Locality says. Through the new Early Stage Support programme, the
organisation hopes to show that communities building their own housing is a
viable, mainstream option to help beat the housing crisis and provide
much-needed quality, affordable housing for neighbourhoods in need. Read more
