Community-Led Housing: A Key Role for Local Authorities
Community-led housing plays a crucial role in addressing housing needs, empowering residents, and fostering community engagement. Local authorities support community-led initiatives to increase housing supply, utilize different funding approaches, promote regeneration, and address issues beyond housing, such as employability and isolation post-Covid. The development of community-led homes involves grassroots efforts, partnerships with existing organizations, and access to resources and advice. Local authorities can help by providing strategic support, facilitating partnerships, identifying suitable land, and supporting funding opportunities. This collaborative approach between local authorities and community-led initiatives demonstrates the art of the possible in housing development.
