Why get involved in community led housing?
Community led housing is an antidote to our housing crisis and a way to create the homes and neighbourhoods that our communities want and need. People decide to do this to take power and control over their own homes, lives and communities, and to create something better. There are all sorts of reasons why communities might take matters into their own hands and we’ve highlighted a few of the benefits of community led housing here.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Step 1 – initial face to face meeting
This is the first step in working with us. We’ll talk with about your aims, your progress so far, your strengths and your weaknesses. Then we’ll give you some suggestions about what you can do to achieve your ambitions, and what we can do to help.
Step 2 – create a plan
If you decide you would like our help, then we’ll work together to create a support plan. The support we offer you will depend on the stage you are at, whether that’s just starting out, finalising plans, building or renovating homes, or helping your new residents move in. The role of our advisers is to guide, mentor and support you by sharing our expertise of housing development, delivery and management.
We can help you to think through how best to achieve your objectives and everything you need to consider at each stage of your journey:
