If you’re in the early stages of developing a co-housing idea, and want some help, the Early Stage Support programme might be a useful starting point. But you’ll need to be quick as the closing date for applications is 12 August 2016.
Funded by the Nationwide Foundation, the programme offers expert mentoring and small grants to help affordable community-led housing projects get started.
Successful groups will receive one-to-one assistance from experienced sector professionals. There is also a small grant pot available to help with early stage costs.
There’s more advice on the Locality web site.
