Locality is helping community groups to build homes in local areas in a bid to tackle the housing crisis<\/h2>\n

Twenty-two groups across England are set to take part in community-led housing projects supported by Locality<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The schemes will help deal with the mounting housing crisis by giving local people a say in community building.<\/p>\n

The Early Stage Support Programme aims to show communities that it is possible to build affordable, quality housing in the local area that meets the needs of residents.<\/p>\n

Locality chief executive Tony Armstrong said: \u201cIt\u2019s so exciting to be giving these groups the chance to get started with their own community-led developments.<\/p>\n

“Communities know what kind of housing is needed in their neighbourhoods and can be best placed to provide quality, affordable homes for the people in their area.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll they need is a little help to get started and this programme will help them achieve their vision and, we hope, inspire other groups to take up the challenge too.”<\/p>\n

Community-led housing development is an area that is starting to see increasing interest across the country, with many local groups taking control of building in their region.<\/p>\n

The scheme from Locality will be funded via a grant from the Nationwide Foundation. Locality will offer guidance and support to help get groups building.<\/p>\n

Programme manager at the Nationwide Foundation<\/span><\/a> Gary Hartin said: \u201cWe are firm believers that community-led housing offers a meaningful way to create more genuinely affordable housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur ambition is to see it more widely used and acknowledged as a valuable tool to help tackle the desperate shortage of affordable and decent homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Community-led projects only contribute to one per cent of the housing market, despite the wide ranging benefits it brings in meeting housing needs. This method of developing can act as a lynchpin in community activities, bringing additional benefits to local regions while offering affordable properties.<\/p>\n
