Housing and the provision of housing is a key isssue facing the nation.  There is nothing new about community led housing. Community ownership has the potential to empower communityies and to deliver projects that people care aboout, and that support the wider regeneration of an area.

This Community Led Housing Report was commissioned and funded by Locality and the Federation of Northumberland Development Trusts.

The object of this report is to examine the community led housing sector and to draw out examples of how projects operate as sustainable forms of social and community enterprise.

It is hoped that, by presenting this evidence, other new community housing projects and their enabling partners will have the confidence to deliver new community led housing solutions tailored to their own comunities.
