PROBE (HULL) Ltd is a social enterprise established in 1997 to help build prosperous neighborhoods in Hull through employment opportunities, training, business startups, home security, and youth programs. Since 2012, it has focused on refurbishing empty homes through funding secured for 18 homes in Round 1 and 23 homes and apartments in Round 2, including converting a former public house called Lion House into apartments. Lion House had been empty over 10 years and was refurbished over 14 weeks, with the apartments now all occupied by tenants in need of social housing.

It outlines major challenges like negative equity, mortgage company refusals to lease empty homes, and low rental returns.

The document summarizes Methodist Action North West's work growing a social lettings agency. It provides housing and support services to help homeless and vulnerable people. Through its Empty Homes Programme, funded by grants totaling £1.25 million, it restored over 100 empty properties. This provided affordable housing for at least 200 people and brought private investment to the local economy. The program was a success due to collaborating with local partners and empowering communities with local knowledge.
Kevin Lake Somerset Care & Repair
Somerset Care & Repair has been successful in securing £1.46M in funding to work on housing projects in South Somerset and Mendip districts. As the director, Kevin Lake oversees projects such as converting an empty superintendent's house into flats and renovating neglected properties like Fir Tree Cottage and Milford Inn. While navigating challenges with local authorities over costs and delays, the organization has brought 32 empty homes back into use to house those in greatest need. Its success has led to further funding to expand their work to other areas.
David Mullins - Impact of the EHCGP in the North East and Yorkshire and Humbe...
1) The document provides an overview of research on the impact of the Empty Homes Community Grants Programme in the North East and Yorkshire and Humberside regions of England.
2) The programme provided £50 million in funding for community-led, non-registered housing providers to purchase and renovate empty homes between 2011-2015. Over 4,000 homes were brought back into use across the UK.
3) In the Yorkshire and Humberside and North East regions, the funding supported existing community groups and attracted new entrants, addressing gaps and building a peer support network. The funding had wider social and economic impacts through employment, training, and community development.
David Mullins The Best Thing - National Impact of the EHCGP
1. The document summarizes research on the Empty Homes Community Grants Programme (EHCGP) that provided £50 million from 2011-2015 for community-led, non-registered housing providers to purchase and refurbish empty homes.
2. It finds that the programme significantly expanded the community-led housing sector, funding over 4,100 homes across England and attracting many new organizations. It also led to multiple social outcomes like employment, skills training, and stronger communities.
3. Key benefits identified include the local focus of community organizations, genuine pathways into employment for volunteers and trainees, and building strong, independent community groups. The research concludes there is appetite for further funding to continue expanding the sector.
Stocksfield Community Association Pete Duncan
This document summarizes the process undertaken by SCATA, a community development trust in Stocksfield, UK, to provide affordable housing. It discusses SCATA's formation in 2010, their first project to develop 7 affordable rental homes completed in 2015, and their plans for a next project of 18 affordable flats for older residents. Key aspects covered include securing funding, overcoming legal and technical challenges, engaging the community, and lessons learned around the time and support required for community-led housing projects.
David Mullins The best thing - EHCGP research
1. The document summarizes research on the Empty Homes Community Grants Programme (EHCGP) in the UK from 2011-2015. The programme provided £50 million in funding to community-led, non-registered housing providers to purchase and refurbish empty homes.
2. It finds that the programme was successful in bringing over 4,000 empty homes back into use and had wider social benefits like providing employment, training opportunities and affordable housing. Groups that received funding were able to leverage additional funding and grow as organizations.
3. The research argues that continued public funding is needed to support small, locally-focused community groups and encourage wider social impacts. Ring-fencing funds for non-registered providers
New approaches in an urban context Sally Thomas North Star Housing
Community-led housing makes strong business sense for organizations like North Star Housing Group, as it helps address market failures and fits their social purpose. While traditional views see community-led housing as too small, messy, and resource-intensive, North Star Housing Group has had success working with communities to develop housing cooperatives, community-owned housing, and addressing empty homes. The main features of their community-led housing projects include tailored agreements, partnerships, long-term relationships, flexible funding, and enabling services. Successes include developing a shared purpose and strong business case, though barriers also include institutional and cultural differences.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
