Community Led Housing in East Yorkshire
Our aim is:
What is Community-Led Housing?
Community Led Housing involves people and communities taking the lead in providing their own housing solutions, creating affordable, sustainable, high quality homes that remain in perpetuity for the community. It helps people develop new skills and knowledge and builds resilient, confident communities.
Community Led Housing comes in many different forms – there are no standard, off the shelf approaches, but they can include:
Regardless of which form the project takes, there are three main principles that Community Led Housing adheres to:
We can help you through the process to develop a scheme which suits the needs of your community or group.
Community Led Housing delivers community benefits:
East Riding of Yorkshire Council can provide funding through the Community Housing Fund to support these types of developments. Humber & Wolds Rural Action provides a Community Led Housing Advisor to any group who wishes to see these types of homes built in their community.
Anyone can start, volunteer and deliver a Community-Led Housing project. You don't need to work in housing, have a degree in architecture or be a builder. If you think a change is needed, you can lead it.
Heron Educational Foundation based in Humbleton (10 miles east of Hull) are now building two 3 bed semi detached homes on land they own and are about to start the refurbishment of the Old Schhool and Headmaster's House in Humbleton, owned by the charity. These buildings will provide three 2 bed cottages and one 4 bed house and hope to be completed by the end of 2022. See pictures below.
For an informal chat or to find out more about the project and how it could help your community please ring 01652 637700 or email info@hwrcc.org.uk
Here is a video produced by Rural Community Council of Essex and ACRE, who like Humber & Wolds Rural Action, are part of the ACRE Network. The video shows the impact of Community-Led Housing on those who live in the affordable homes provided. It is called Roxwell Affordable Housing Scheme, Essex. Their area may be different from ours, but it shows what can be achieved by small rural communities who work together to help their residents who are in housing need. Enjoy!
Support is also available for groups interested in Community-led Housing:
