Community-led Housing for Local People
Local ownership and local control
We are working with groups around the county to find sites and promote community ownership. We offer our specialist skills and experience on design and construction, finances, tenancies and housing management.
What's New
What we do
Local homes for local people
High-quality, secure long-term rentals, so people can live and work in their home areas. Strong Local Connection criteria -
Work with local communities
We’ll create new housing directly or with Community Land Trusts and local groups. Communities will have genuine control, to safeguard the homes and create more.
Focus on rebuilding neglected housing
Find, buy and refurbish old property, often neglected or underused for many years. Refurb eyesores to make high-quality homes.
Heritage and preservation
We’ll take on historic listed buildings, often in poor condition. We’ll rebuild and improve, while safeguarding the heritage.
Minimum impact on the planet
Reduce our carbon: better for the planet and the tenants through lower energy bills. High-quality insulation and cost-saving, green energy generation where possible.
Not-for-profit, forever
Really strong safeguards and covenants to defend our housing forever: all surplus reinvested into new homes. Everything published and visible – no secrets.
Our first project is the purchase and refurb of The Looe Coastguard Flats. These eleven small flats are currently owned by Cornwall Council and have been mostly empty for some time. They will become vital low-rent homes for locals. Read more about this project.
Local ownership = local control
Full, high-energy involvement by local people is vital. We are working with groups around the county to find sites and promote community ownership. We offer our specialist skills and experience on design and construction, finances, tenancies and housing management.
Pro-planet and pro-tenant
We are committed to creating high-insulation, low energy homes, and adding green energy generation wherever possible. Lower carbon emissions, and lower bills for tenants!
Defending heritage
Most of our projects are historic buildings. We work hard, and invest extra money, to preserve and improve the fabric as we bring these much-loved buildings back to life.
