Community led housing is on the rise. There are now 23,000 homes planned, 10,000 of which will be delivered in the next five years, and a network of 27 enabler hubs supporting groups.

The sector can play an important role in helping local authorities, combined authorities and LEPs meet their objectives for housing, regeneration and place making.

Community Led Homes and your local enabling hub invite you to this online event, which will showcase some of those best practice examples of support for community led housing by local government, regional government and LEPs and the ways in which the enabler hubs can best support authorities in meeting their objectives.
