We're excited by a proposed Community Right to Buy - but we need to make sure that impactful CLTs (like @hastingscommons and @CVCLT1) creating new community places & community led affordable homes don't miss out

What do we need from the new gov to see CLTs thriving? @AlisonWardx and Hannah from @AsterGroupUK say reinstate the Community Housing Fund, Rich Pillar says create policy to respond to real housing need within a community & develop WITH local authorities #BuildingwithCommunities
Great to see the excellent speakers here today at the Community Land Trust Network #BuildingwithCommunities Conference. So much expertise in the room. Whoever makes the new government should partner the CLT movement and make this mainstream.
Only one day to go to the CLT Networks #buildingwithcommunities conference ….we are excited to be going.

"It’s our idea of what a sustainable neighbourhood looks like,” says Anurag Verma, who chairs @RUSSLewisham, “Much more than just being affordable, it’s about the idea of agency – having control over where you live". Welcome to @CommLandTrusts

"I believe that we as a society will all be better off if more of our assets are owned by the community. Selling this house to the CLT is one small step in that direction that was within my power to take." Affordable, rented, energy efficient, community owned & coming to Hebden.

CLT-owned homes are exempt from the Right to Buy and Right to Shared Ownership, and of they are the freeholder can also exempt homes from the Right to Acquire and (soon) leasehold enfranchisement. Inc where an RP/council is landlord.

What if we designed, sourced and built our homes with homegrown materials and resources?
We're very excited to be launching our 'Homegrown Homes for People and Planet' report, supported by the @ForestryComm.
... Coming Weds pm on wecanmake.org 👀

Amazing! Great achievement as the result of hard work and dedication from volunteers!
We're delighted to have finally signed the legal agreement for a 250 year lease at The Lawns for our first affordable housing project. Thanks to @ACSLLP for the legal work, and @CLHLondon & @MayorofLondon/@tomcopley for the funding & support.

This is a truly stupid tragedy.
If they had vested the land into a Community Land Trust with the council operating the homes, they would have been protected. One to consider...
Goldsmith Street, Norwich - winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2019, 100 percent social housing, Passivhaus -and now being privatised by Right to Buy. Such a devastating indictment of that policy.

Our new manifesto proposes policies to make community led homes account for at least 5% of housing development in the UK in the next 5 years - 15k homes a year and potentially generating £1bn+ community wealth.

Useful clear explanation of how Parish and Town Councils and CLTs can work together to benefit their communities ..making homes for people not profit. – at South East, England
We are seeing an increasing number of #towncouncils and #parishcouncils explore the possibility of using their surplus land for community-led housing. Our #communityledhousing expert Laura Moss explains how it works.
