Funding For Self-Help Housing On The Way………

Earlier this year the Co-alition announced a £100m Empty Homes Programme as part of  the Homes & Communities Agency’s Investment Programme, with the intention of  bringing  3,300 empty homes back into use between 2012 and 2015. 

 Over the past few months, negotiations have been taking place  around how this funding can be made accessible to community led housing organisations.  News of  how this is going to work will soon be published as part of the Co-alition’s Empty Homes Strategy and thereafter organisations will be invited to bid for funding. Bidding is expected to open in September and close in January 2012. The programme will start as from April 2012

Further details will appear on this site once the Strategy has been published. However, if you want to receive details directly about how it will work and how to bid, or or simply find out more in the meantime, then Email  self-help-housing@agents-for-change.com
