GRCC has enabled the delivery of local Affordable Housing for many years, working with communities to do this.

How can we help?

• Helping communities to carry out local Affordable Housing Needs Surveys, giving the opportunity for individuals to self-identify as being in housing need
• Championing new ideas and exploring new ways of working to provide Affordable Housing, including Community-Led Housing
• Finding sites for Affordable Housing and working with land owners, communities, financial organisations and Registered Providers to enable delivery
• Giving people the facts about why Affordable Housing is important to local communities – and to Gloucestershire as a whole
• Support with understanding the planning system, finding funding for Affordable Housing, and linking with partners relevant for the delivery of local Affordable Housing.
• Providing data on Affordable Housing needs to our associated partners .
• Support for linking-up with other Community-Led Housing projects, to create sustainable communities where local people have a say in shaping the future of their communities.
