New case study – Odu-Dua Housing Association and TSHG

A new case study describing how a community based housing association, set up  to meet the housing needs of young black people in Camden has been able to use Temporary Social Housing Grant to cover the cost of repairing properties on loan from the local authority. To find out all about Temporary Social Housing Grant and how to get it, look at our Guide which appears under our How It’s Done section. Read case study.

New section on Temporary Social Housing Grant

Temporary Social Housing Grant (TSHG) is available from the Homes & Communities Agency (HCA) and provides funding  for Registered Social Landlords (RSLs  - eg housing associations) to bring back into use properties, in public or private ownership, that would otherwise remain empty and unavailable for social housing. What makes TSHG so important is that it’s possible for RSLs to do this in partnership with local community based housing organisations (e.g. self help housing organisations). Our new page explaining TSHG is well worth a read if your organisation is looking for funding for self help housing activities.
