In January 2018, the Housing Commission on Community-Led Housing published its report, ‘Community-Led Housing: a Key Role for Local Authorities’. Set up by CCIN as a policy lab and led by Croydon Council, the Commission’s practical approach is aimed at promoting good practice and innovation to enable councils to work with communities to generate more affordable housing and make best use of government funding for community-led housing (CLH).
