We're excited by a proposed Community Right to Buy - but we need to make sure that impactful CLTs (like @hastingscommons and @CVCLT1) creating new community places & community led affordable homes don't miss out

And over in our rural housing partnerships session - sponsored by @AsterGroupUK - @AlisonWardx is talking through Middlemarch CLH replicable model of rural CLT-housing association partnerships - contributing to a South West boom in CLT homes #buildingwithcommunities

[Community Land Trust Network @CommLandTrusts]

What do we need from the new gov to see CLTs thriving? @AlisonWardx and Hannah from @AsterGroupUK say reinstate the Community Housing Fund, Rich Pillar says create policy to respond to real housing need within a community & develop WITH local authorities #BuildingwithCommunities

[WAM Community Land Trust @WamCommunity]

Great to see the excellent speakers here today at the Community Land Trust Network #BuildingwithCommunities Conference. So much expertise in the room. Whoever makes the new government should partner the CLT movement and make this mainstream.

[WAM Community Land Trust @WamCommunity]

Only one day to go to the CLT Networks #buildingwithcommunities conference ….we are excited to be going.

"It’s our idea of what a sustainable neighbourhood looks like,” says Anurag Verma, who chairs @RUSSLewisham, “Much more than just being affordable, it’s about the idea of agency – having control over where you live". Welcome to @CommLandTrusts

"I believe that we as a society will all be better off if more of our assets are owned by the community. Selling this house to the CLT is one small step in that direction that was within my power to take." Affordable, rented, energy efficient, community owned & coming to Hebden.

[Tom Chance @tom_chance]

@josiahsulc CLT-owned homes are exempt from the Right to Buy and Right to Shared Ownership, and of they are the freeholder can also exempt homes from the Right to Acquire and (soon) leasehold enfranchisement. Inc where an RP/council is landlord.

[WeCanMake @WeCanMakeHomes]

What if we designed, sourced and built our homes with homegrown materials and resources?

We're very excited to be launching our 'Homegrown Homes for People and Planet' report, supported by the @ForestryComm.

[Community Led Housing London @CLHLondon]

Amazing! Great achievement as the result of hard work and dedication from volunteers!

[Tom Chance @tom_chance]

This is a truly stupid tragedy.

If they had vested the land into a Community Land Trust with the council operating the homes, they would have been protected. One to consider...

[Community Land Trust Network @CommLandTrusts]

Our new manifesto proposes policies to make community led homes account for at least 5% of housing development in the UK in the next 5 years - 15k homes a year and potentially generating £1bn+ community wealth.

Great work from the CLT network on policy .

[Tom Chance @tom_chance]

We've launched our @CommLandTrusts manifesto, calling for community ownership and agency to be wired into the system.

Many thanks to @Victoria_Spratt, @KaneEmerson of @yimbyalliance, @boys_nicholas, @rosegrayston and @MarkGregory21 for their discussion.

Useful clear explanation of how Parish and Town Councils and CLTs can work together to benefit their communities ..making homes for people not profit.

[Wrigleys Charities @Wrigleys_CSE]

We are seeing an increasing number of #towncouncils and #parishcouncils explore the possibility of using their surplus land for community-led housing. Our #communityledhousing expert Laura Moss explains how it works.
