Information & Document Bank
We want to make it as easy as possible to set up a self-help housing project and to reduce the need for you to start from scratch, when it comes to drawing up your own documentation and policies.
This document bank contains a range of working documents which have submitted by a variety of self-help housing projects, which can be amended for use as required.
That said, you’ll need to satisfy yourself that they actually do the job that you want them to. If in doubt you might like to contact the project in question and discuss it with them. All documents are badged to indicate from where they’ve come and all projects are listed in the Directory (Section 3.2)
