What is community led housing?

Community led housing is all about meeting the housing needs of your community.

It’s about building high quality affordable homes to buy or rent that are owned by the community, for the community.

There is plenty of support and advice available locally and access to national funding streams.

Now is a great time to find out more about taking forward a scheme in your town or village.

Speakers include:

Leah Swain – Community First Yorkshire

Martin Booth – Hudswell Community Charity

Graham Brookfield – Homes England

At this breakfast briefing you will:  

• Hear from a North Yorkshire community group that has built its own affordable homes
• Find out more about the Community Housing Fund, which has been allocated by Government to support community led housing
• Practical advice on how to kick start a community led housing project in your area
• Find out about organisations who can support and advise you

There will be an opportunity for you to network and ask any questions you might have.

The breakfast briefing is run in partnership with Hambleton District Council and Ryedale District Council and your local Rural Housing Enablers will also be attending.
