CLH toolkit 02: Context and concepts
In this section we’ll go back to basics, looking at a definition of community-led housing and exploring the different models to choose from depending on your group’s needs and vision.
What is community-led housing?
Community-led housing is about local people playing a leading and fundamental role in solving their specific housing problems, creating long-term affordable homes and strong, resilient communities in ways that are difficult to achieve through mainstream housing alone. The four main principles of CLH are that it is:
- Led by the community
- Owned, managed or stewarded by the community
- For collective benefit
- Affordable
