"more than just a roof" - Lessons learnt from community led housing renovation

Published on Sep 9, 2017Construction

The objective of this report is to examine the CLH (community-led housing) renovation sector and to draw out examples of how CLH renovation projects can operate as sustainable alternatives to traditional forms of housing provision. As well as how the process of renovating properties can be utilised to the benefit of the wider local community. The report is not a ‘how to develop a community housing project’ guide, and shouldn’t be considered as such. The intention is to inform the reader through an analysis of how communities have approached developed and managed housing portfolios, successfully. It is hoped that, by presenting this evidence, along with it's larger socio-political and economic context, it will raise the confidence of people developing community renovation projects, by providing evidence of their scale and viability and showcasing the extended socio-economic benefits they provide.
