We support people to take a leading and lasting role over their homes and neighbourhoods, together.
We work with:
Groups at an early stage, offering advice and mentoring on development, partnerships and acquisitions.
Boroughs and others to help create opportunities for community led housing.
Developers and Housing Associations to enable community led housing and coproduction.
We were originally established by the Mayor of London and are formally part of CDS Co-operatives, a Registered Provider of social housing across London and the South East, with a history of supporting co-operative and community led housing.
We work closely with the Community Land Trust Network, the Confederation of Co-operative Housing, and UK Cohousing and provide practical enabling and support for community led housing.
What is Community Led Housing?
Community Led Housing is where people play a leading and lasting role over what matters most to them. Working together, groups of people can create and provide homes, on their own terms. 
The CLH definition covers a range of approaches including housing co-operatives, community land trusts (CLTs), and cohousing.
The CLH projects map shows examples of various approaches. We can help you explore the different options, whether you are a determined and enthusiastic group of people, or whether you have a project that people can be brought together around.
