This new Community-led Housing Alliance marks a pivotal moment in reshaping housing policy for the better, and we're proud to fund and support this major step forward👏 As long-term funders of community-led housing, we truly believe in its power to deliver more decent, affordable homes at scale.

A really important package, and I particularly welcome the explicit references to community led housing, rural and regeneration - there can be no "one size fit all" approach to the varied housing pressures across England, so flexibility is key. But also...

Attending the @local.gov.uk conference this week? Don't miss out on our event to find out how you can support community-led homes in your area. We'll be exploring how local govt can diversify housing production and utilise community-assets to boost the delivery of affordable homes. Details👇

Our Programme Manager for Backing Community-Led Housing @garyhfdtn.bsky.social has enjoyed being at @cwmpas.bsky.social's conference today. So many inspiring stories coming from the community-led housing space in Wales. CLH has a vitally important role to play in tackling the UK housing crisis.

She says that Community-Led Housing initiatives would not have made the progress they have without the invaluable support of Cwmpas.

"Co-operatives are about more than just homes for the people that live there, they are the root to training, education, decision making and genuine power." Great to hear @andrewpakes.bsky.social raise the profile of co-operative housing in parliament yesterday and in @politicshome.bsky.social 👇

What an amazing team day! We stepped away from the office on Tuesday to enjoy the outdoors, share some good food, connect as a team and celebrate the incredible progress we’ve made – thanks in no small part to our amazing partners. We're excited for the year ahead. Here’s to the next 12 months!☀️🌳

Thanks also to @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social for honouring this significant investment. We look forward to carrying on our conversations with the housing minister to secure a longer-term funding solution for the wider community-led housing sector.

The news we've been waiting for! As long-time supporters of the community-led housing sector, we know how vital this funding is for CLH projects to develop their schemes. Well done to those in the sector (inc @tomchance.bsky.social) for their efforts.
