The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) has launched a new £4 million fund to increase community led affordable housing.  The community-led approach involves community-based groups taking responsibility for local housebuilding and is intended to deliver housing that is affordable locally and remains under the control of the community, through land trusts or housing co-operatives.

The Community Housing Fund Revenue Programme 2021 to 2022 will be managed by the Community Led Homes Partnership (CLHP), who assessing all funding applications and administer the grants. CLHP is a partnership of four community-led housing organisations:

• Confederation of Co-operative Housing
• Locality
• National Community Land Trust Network and
• UK Cohousing Network.
