Get involved in Community-led Housing
The first step, if you live or work in the Stroud District, is to contact the GRCC to find how we can help by emailing info@grcc.org.uk or calling 01452 528491.
You may have a Neighbourhood Development Plan in your community and could link community-led housing with this plan. The Stroud District Council website contains information on active Neighbourhood Plans in the district.
The GRCC website also contains a summary of NDPs across the county.
You may wish to start with a local housing needs survey to find out about need in your area - GRCC can help with this.
Your Parish or Town Council is also a good starting point to find out what is going on in your local area. For a list of all the Parish and Town Councils, visit the Stroud District Council website.
Useful information can also be found online:
For outline information about the different types or Community-led housing and some case studies visit the Building and Social Housing Fund website.
Locality has four toolkits to help with community-led housing, available from the website:
- getting your community-led housing project up and running
- project planning
- how to fund your project
- how to deliver your community-led project
