Eastern Community Homes aims to increase the number of new homes in the East of England built through community-led housing projects.

Community-led housing is about normal people taking action and managing housing projects that build the decent and affordable homes that their communities so desperately need.

Anyone can initiate, volunteer with and deliver a community-led housing project. You don’t need specialist knowledge or skills. The team at Eastern Community Homes can help bring your ambitions to life.

With our support and expertise, we can help you create community land trusts, co-ops, and cohousing. That means long term homes for local people, giving people power over how they want to live.

Across the East of England, groups of people are coming together to ensure the availability of secure and fairly priced housing in their community, forever. Working together, your community can create and own (or rent) homes, on your own terms. And we can help you do it.

We work with:

• Community groups, offering advice, mentoring, and project management.
• Local Authorities, helping create opportunities for community-led housing.
• Housing Associations, enabling community-led housing.

We are supported by a number of local authorities across the East of England to provide this expertise, advice, support and funding.
