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.
Housing Association and CLT partnership - Hastoe Kevin Harnett
This document summarizes a presentation given by Kevin Hartnett of Hastoe Housing on their partnerships with Community Land Trusts (CLTs). Some key points:
- Hastoe has partnered with several CLTs in southern England to develop affordable housing.
- As a housing association, Hastoe brings development expertise, management experience, quality construction, and access to funding.
- Effective partnerships require early trust-building, listening to community needs, and designing homes the CLT members will focus on locally in the long run.
- Developing with CLTs requires a longer timeline for consultation and design compared to Hastoe's normal process. But the results are high quality homes and long term community
The role of HAs in CLH projects Anna James
Plus Dane Group is a large housing association in northwest England that owns and manages over 18,000 homes. They have partnered with local communities on several housing projects, such as Granby 4 Streets which involved refurbishing homes and transferring ownership to a community land trust. Welsh Streets was a project that included demolition, refurbishment, and new construction of 189 homes through public-private partnerships. Kirkby involved building 71 new homes through a cooperative to regenerate the town center. Lessons learned include the need for buy-in and trust between stakeholders, sharing resources, and communicating sensitively.
Ian Cockerill Community Campus 87
Community Campus is a non-profit organization established in 1987 in response to the housing crisis facing young people. They provide housing, support services, personal development opportunities, and construction services to help reduce homelessness and promote inclusion. They currently have 69 properties providing housing and support to over 105 individuals. Over the past 30 years, they have supported over 5,000 people and have clear evidence of long-term positive outcomes. Going forward, they will continue providing housing and services, collaborating with partners, and sharing their experience with others.
CRtB - Locality Lyn Kesterton
The document discusses the Community Right to Build, which allows certain community organizations to undertake small housing and commercial developments without going through the normal planning application process. It works best when communities think strategically about their needs, work together, and have a clear understanding of the benefits. For example, in Ferring, the Community Right to Build was used as part of a Neighborhood Plan to relocate an allotment site and village hall in order to build 50 homes to address housing needs, using the funds to build new community facilities. Support is available for communities pursuing Community Right to Build projects through funding, advice on technical and housing matters, and peer connections.
Urban context Witton Lodge - Afzal Hussain
Community Led Development discusses how community organizations can take the lead in developing housing and services in their local areas. Uneven economic growth and public funding cuts have had disproportionate impacts on marginalized groups. The government now wants to devolve more power locally and reform services to focus on prevention. Witton Lodge Community Association is redeveloping an area of Perry Common to provide 187 homes and community infrastructure. They secured funding from the Homes and Communities Agency to develop 20 homes themselves as part of the redevelopment. The total project will cost £2.8 million to develop the land and construct homes, with funding coming from grants, loans, and the association's reserves.

Partnerships between CLTs and Housing Associations - Wessex CLT Steve Watson
This document summarizes a presentation about partnerships between Community Land Trusts (CLTs) and Housing Associations. It defines a CLT as a non-profit organization established to provide affordable housing and other assets to benefit a local community. The Wessex CLT Project established 18 CLTs across Somerset, Devon and Dorset in partnership with housing associations, building 200 affordable homes using £7.5 million in grants. Examples of current partnerships describe how the CLT and HA work together on various projects, with the CLT retaining ownership of the land through a long-term lease to the HA. Both pros and cons of the partnerships for CLTs are discussed.

Jo Gooding Cohousing
Community-led housing solutions can take many forms including cohousing, co-operatives, community land trusts, and intentional communities. There are over 1,330 established community-led housing projects in the UK across these different models. However, barriers to growth include a lack of tailored finance options, low public awareness, and the difficulty of starting from scratch with limited resources. Opportunities for expanding community-led housing include tailoring solutions to local needs, gaining support from local authorities, replicating successful off-the-shelf models, and taking advantage of policies that empower localism.

Kentucky Supportive Housing Academy
Powerpoint accompanying workshop session from the Homeless and Housing Coalition of Kentucky's 2013 conference. Presented by Bill Kerley, Pennyroyal Center
Permanent supportive housing is a successful, cost-effective combination of affordable housing with services that
helps reduce homelessness for people facing complex challenges and live more stable, productive lives. A major
barrier to the construction of supportive housing is a lack of capacity among non-profit social service/homeless
providers and housing developers. Service providers know how to provide case management services and help
homeless families apply for rental assistance and other public benefits, but they don’t know how to structure tax-
credit projects and access other funds available for affordable housing construction. Low-income housing developers
know how to apply for tax credits and structure deals, but they don’t know how to provide supportive services to
low-income families. This session will benefit all housing and service agencies interested in forging partnerships to
develop permanent supportive housing projects
