This event is intended to explore a range of Community Led Housing models with a particular focus on Community Land Trusts. Central Government had recently awarded over £20 million to rural Local Authorities in the South West to be used for Community Led affordable housing projects. The event will discuss the issues around Community Led Housing and highlight the benefits of Community Land Trusts in bringing affordable housing forward. We will also visit the completed Norton-sub-Hamdon CLT homes.
