We've launched our report - State of the CLT Sector 2023 - with @michaelgove and @danny__kruger. We need industry to partner with communities, and govt to deliver reforms to planning & housing finance, to make community ownership and agency commonplace.

Investing in the right local enabling support is important to the housing ecosystem. We need to build on this and invest in some long term funding strategies.
When you invest in the enabling support for #CommunityLedHousing, the numbers of planned homes increases. Hubs funded through the programme had 160 more homes in their pipeline at year 3 than we otherwise would have expected
So pleased that Guy Bailey has been honoured for his work in founding United Housing Association (as well as a leading role in bus boycott). It was great to work with him and United in its early days when at @natfednews
We're leading the way but crucially we need more investment and support A great piece on the groups we have supported and the wins and the challenges going forward. CLH needs more land and funding and finance! #whereischf @bristoclt @BristolCouncil

The 6th housing minister within a year.
It is impossible for us to get any decisions out of government with such frequent reshuffles.
The consequence? 100s of #communityledhousing groups unable to progress affordable homes for lack of funding.
Infuriating.
The Ambition Community Energy Wind Turbine featured on @bbcpointswest today!📺We're pleased to have played a part in getting this incredible community-owned project off the ground, through our @CityFundBristol investment. Congrats to all involved! #Bristol@ambitionlw@BBCBristol
Fantastic day supporting @BristolSomaliRC through the next stage of community consultation for the tenants hall site in Barton Hill. Huge thanks to @one50studio for making this event so engaging. #communityledhousing#communityvision
This was a fascinating event. (And that was before we even started talking about #communityledhousing!) Planning a community building & affordable housing with local people. That's what gets us up in the morning! Thanks @BristolSomaliRC @one50studio @BristolCouncil@clhwest
Feeling inspired after a great time in Bristol yesterday sharing community-led housing proposals we (@Transitionbyd) created together with @WeCanMakeHomes & @BlackSWNet on two garage sites. Everyone produced amazing work in the showcase event. @Bristol_HF @BristolCouncil@clhwest
