The Spring Budget is due to be announced on 11 March 2020, will
the Community Housing Fund be affected?
The big question for the community-led housing sector is whether
an announcement will be made about the extension of the Community
Housing Fund.
The Community Housing Fund has been instrumental in launching
new community-led housing schemes. With over 16,600 new
community-led homes in the pipeline, the sector can make a small
but significant contribution towards solving the housing
crisis.
The National CLT Network is urging its members and supporters to
campaign for the Community Housing Fund to be extended. The
current Government committed to supporting community housing in its
manifesto, along with a pledge to build 300,000 new homes a year by
the mid-2020s. Extending the Community Housing Fund would be
a meaningful way of making good on those promises.
To take part in the campaign, you can download template letters
to send to your MP from the NCLTN's website here. They are also asking supporters to
promote their campaign via communication channels, including social
media. Fingers crossed for March!
