Community Led Housing Advisers

Support for your community led housing project should primarily come through your enabling hub. If there isn't an enabling hub in your area yet, you can contact one of the below advisers to see if they have the availability to assist you.

These advisers have been fully accredited through the Community Led Homes Training & Accreditation Programme and so can support all community led housing approaches for whichever stage of your project you are working on.

You will see under each adviser the counties they are willing to travel to to offer support. Look out for your county below, read more about the adviser and reach out.

If there isn't an adviser listed for your county yet, please contact the Community Led Homes National Advice Centre for support at hello@communityledhomes.org.uk
