What is community-led housing?

Community-led housing is a term that’s used to describe housing that is developed by local people, to meet the housing needs of local people. At Leeds Community Homes we’re interested in finding ways to help local people to work together to meet their own housing needs. There are various ways that that can happen – such as co-housing (like at LILAC in Bramley), housing co-ops, or through affordable homes being built by a Community Land Trust.
