A \u00a36m funding boost has been allocated for affordable housing across England, new government-funded training and advice to help communities kick start local housing developments<\/h2>\n

Communities across the country are set to benefit from a \u00a36m funding boost to help them build more of the homes that their area needs, Housing Minister Kit Malthouse MP<\/a> has announced. The community-led sector is expected to supply over 5,000 homes in the next five years \u2013 helping to deliver the homes our country needs.<\/p>\n

Funding of up to \u00a310,000 will be provided to groups to cover start-up costs such as legal fees, and a further \u00a33.5m will be made available to provide technical advice and support to guide communities through the process of building the housing they urgently need<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Community led\u00a0homes<\/a> Programme \u2013 managed by four leading housing charities \u2013 will provide local people with funding to kick start community-led housing developments that will benefit their neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

This news is part of a wider, comprehensive package of measures to increase local housebuilding, and builds on ongoing government action to reach the ambitious target of 300,000 properties a year by the mid-2020s.<\/p>\n

Housing Minister, Kit Malthouse MP, said: \u201cLast year we delivered over 222,000 homes but we need to deliver more good quality properties, and the community-led housing programme will help us do just that.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlongside \u00a36m of funding, the programme will also provide crucial training and advice to local groups, ensuring that we are not just building better homes but also building better communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head of Community Led Homes, Samantha Jones<\/a> said: \u201cCommunities want to play their part in tackling the country\u2019s affordable housing crisis<\/a> and many are forming community led housing groups to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the next five years the movement will build over 5,000 affordable homes. We\u2019ve created the Community Led Homes programme to help this figure increase further still, and in time, for community led housing to become a mainstream housing option<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Community-led housing enables communities of all shapes and forms to take the lead in building and renovating homes, helping people to come together to solve their own housing challenges and build high-quality, affordable homes.<\/p>\n

The new programme will strengthen the vital role that community-led housing can play in delivering much-needed affordable housing, helping the sector to play its part in getting Britain building and delivering the homes our country needs.<\/p>\n
