Lovely story showing how community led housing is helping local families remain in their community, which in turn goes some way to reversing depopulation in this rural area & ensures future sustainability #communityledhousing #community #AffordableHousing

[BBC Highlands @BBCHighlands]

Six families have moved into new homes in Stenscholl, Staffin.

It is the first affordable housing development in Staffin since 1999 and was led by the Staffin Community Trust.

@CommLandTrusts Thank you! We're absolutely chuffed to bits at the planning decision. Affordable homes for a village that knew what it needed and set out to provide for its community: a real testament to the hard work of everyone involved.

[Kent Community Housing Hub @hub_kent]

We're so proud to have been a part of the journey so far & looking forward to seeing the development come to life! @EnglishRural #communityledhousing #communitylandtrust #affordablehousing

6 affordable homes for families in a Cornish village: https://t.co/INr7g8PHgO
"Amie Gribble, a care worker, moved in with her young daughter & said: "Having the security of a home that can't be taken from us is such a relief".

What happens when a Council works to properly engage with residents on housing? Two-thirds voter turn-out with almost 75% of voters in approval of plans for a scheme of 2000 homes (1000 for social rent) https://t.co/rkoUWAsM1R #affordablehousing #community #socialhousing

Conversion of commercial property to residential isn't always the best answer, but created in p'ship with organisations like YMCA, as shown in this story, it can alleviate younger people being priced out of the area they grew up in, and want to remain in. https://t.co/594iaIGxXy

The village hall has been at the centre of village life for years - who hasn't been to a club, party, bazaar or other event in one? Let's hear it for our Kentish village halls!
