Calling all members of the community-led housing sector in the West of England; we are exploring what our future strategic direction should be - please complete this consultation survey to have your say on where we should go next!

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.

[CRESR SHU @CRESR_SHU]

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

[Paul Smith CIHCM @housingpaul]

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

Forging an anti racist landscape. It's still not there! Panel talk about exec boards, anti racism pledges, services, exploitation, modern slavery. #weneedtolisten #homesnothouses https://t.co/cE2efjv5Kv

Do we do the things, we did before or do we rip it up and start again? It didn't work let's reimagine and take the lessons learnt and coalesce #representation #collaboration #localism #solutions Diversity and quality of provision.@BlackSWNet @BristolCouncil @CllrAsherCraig

Infuriating and unbelievable. We need to find a way out of this cycle for the sake of our sector. #howmanyhousingministersistoomany

[Tom Chance @tom_chance]

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.

[BBRC @BristolBathRCap]

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

[CLHWEST @clhwest]

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

[BristolCLT @BristolCLT]

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

[Stephen Dale @StephenPDale]

Paul Chatterton from @lilacleeds opens the #RadicalHousingSolutions conference with 10 reasons why #communityledhousing is the answer to the the broken housing system. Looking forward to conversations today with people who want to work with @clhwest & @BristolCLT to scale up CLH.

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
