Time is running out to help extend the Community Housing Fund as
the deadline for the Government's recent call for information
is this Friday 31 May.
What is the Community Housing Fund?
Originally announced in the 2016 Spring Budget, the Community
Housing Fund was established for communities affected by second
home ownership. The fund has made £163 million available to
local groups planning affordable, community led housing projects
since its launch.
The funding has been released in two tranches: firstly revenue
grants to fund pre-development costs and secondly capital grants to
enable the delivery of the affordable housing.
The current deadline for applications to the fund is December
2019, or until the funding is fully committed, whichever is
earlier, and all grants made through the fund must be spent by the
end of March 2020.
