About Community Led Homes

Community Led Homes is a partnership project between the Confederation of Co-operative Housing, Locality, the National Community Land Trust Network and UK Cohousing.

In recent years it's become clear that while there are different ways of doing community led housing, be it a community land trust, cohousing or the co-operative movement, the motivations for groups are remarkably similar: normal people want to create a better way of living for themselves and others.

Taking on the system and doing something new is hard. Community Led Homes is our effort to make community led housing as easy as possible for those that want to do it.

We have supported hundreds of community led  housing groups and have seen first-hand the positive impact community led  housing is having. Just as the pioneering community led housing groups that have formed to date have and are demonstrating: there is power in numbers. Together we will work to help community led housing become a mainstream housing option.

This website has been made possible thanks to funding from the Nationwide Foundation and Power to Change. We are hoping to secure further funding to make sure this website can provide the best possible information and resources to individuals, groups and organisations looking to find out more about community led housing.
