Join the campaign for Community Housing

Britain is in the midst of a housing crisis. In all areas of the UK, we are seeing rents soaring, leaseholders exploited, and people priced out of home ownership. The Conservative Government appears uninterested in tackling the situation – failing to build the affordable homes required or replace the social housing stock which has been sold off. Without urgent reform, more people will be priced out of the communities they grew up in and permanently denied home-ownership.  

But there is another way. We are committed to supporting a new generation of community-led housing – providing low-cost options for those wishing to own or rent. We believe the democratic model at the heart of co-operative and community-led housing can deliver higher quality homes, better community engagement, and lower costs.

We're calling on the Government to help tackle the housing crisis by boosting the community-led housing sector, by creating a new specific co-operative housing tenure, providing a land-use presumption for housing co-operatives, and ensuring greater funding for community-led housing.
