£20 million for community-led housing

The government has announced £20 million to support the delivery of community-led housing.

Thousands of new high-quality homes, including some that are social and affordable, will be designed and built by local people for local people.

The housing minister has confirmed a £20 million package for community groups, such as community land trusts and housing co-operatives that will directly support the construction of more than 2,500 new homes over the next decade.

The housebuilding projects will be led by communities to specifically address local needs in their area.   

Housing and Planning Minister, Matthew Pennycook said: “Community-led housing not only delivers social and affordable homes for local people, it also gives local communities a greater say on where new homes are built and how they are designed.

“This investment will help community-based organisations overcome barriers to housing delivery and will support the growth of the community-led housing sector.

“Through our Plan for Change we are boosting housing supply and reforming the housing system, delivering on our commitment to the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation.”
