Community-led housing
Community-led housing in Waltham Forest
Community-led housing is housing which is developed by, with, for, and controlled by community-led organisations.
There are a number of different types of housing delivery methods and housing ownership and management arrangements that meet the community-led housing criteria.
Council support for community-led housing
Waltham Forest Council recognises the role individuals and community groups can play in meeting their housing needs.
The Council has a community-led housing policy effective from April 2020 that sets out what qualifies as community-led housing (CLH) and how the Council will support individuals and groups looking to meet their housing needs through community-led housing projects.
More information and support
More advice and support is available from a number of industry, regional and national organisations including the London Community-Led Housing Hub which is supported by the Greater London Authority (GLA).
The government is supporting community-led housing through a Community Housing Fund, which for London is administered by the GLA.
Networking, news and opportunities
The Council organises Community-led Housing group networking meetings, which usually take place every six months.
If you wish to attend one of the network meetings please email: communityledhousing@walthamforest.gov.uk
The next meeting date will be agreed when the COVID-19 emergency permits such meetings.
The Council will be making land and housing development opportunities available from time to time. Some of these will be specifically for community-led housing, while others will be more general regeneration and housing development opportunities.
