Great news for those wanting more community-led housing

in

The new Community Housing Fund (CHF) will open for applications in August 2021 (but not quite yet – watch here for updates) with £4 million to distribute. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) are proving the funds.  This fund is not for new groups wanting to get going, but for established groups wanting to make meaningful progress. The fund will assist in helping to cover a wide range of costs associate with promoting community-led housing projects including:

  1. Preparing detailed applications to become a Registered Provider

  2. Preparing and submitting capital funding bids

  3. Getting ready to start on-site work

  4. Submitting Full / Detailed Planning Applications or Reserved Matters Planning Applications

  5. Development/ refurbishment of pre-built stock

For detailed assistance on items 1 to 3 above contact Community-led Homes West.

For help with items 4 or 5, contact gcp Chartered Architects and ask to speak with Esther Brown or Sarah Makroum.
