WELCOME TO EAST MIDLANDS COMMUNITY LED HOUSING
WE HELP COMMUNITIES GET THE RIGHT KINDS OF COMMUNITY-LED HOMES BUILT THAT WILL MEET LOCAL NEEDS AND AMBITIONS.
Since our foundation in 2012, EMCLH has been focused on the creation and development of community-led homes in urban and rural areas across the East Midlands and neighbouring counties, undertaking a critical role in supporting local people to advocate for the kinds of homes that are needed at local levels.
The projects we have assisted have included the creation of new properties, the renovation of empty properties, the operation and delivery of housing management and maintenance services and the promotion of national and local guides and policies.
Our Community-Led Housing Facilitators have extensive experience of working with local communities and of engagements with the property and housing sectors and with all parts of the local authority sector. This is complemented by the expertise of the EMCLH Board, whose members have a substantial understanding of what can attract other stakeholders into supporting local projects and to achieving success.

Communities
We are always keen to hear from local groups and communities on potential new initiatives that local people wish to progress and believes that existing local demand is often not brought to the attention of potential supporters.
Local Councils
Our work is commonly engaged with different levels of the local authority sector – County, Unitary, District, Parish and now with new ‘combined’ authorities. Such engagements have been both very practical, such as advocating for the availability of public sites to be available for CLH projects, and at the level of promoting the kinds of positive policies and strategies that can support CLH initiatives alongside other housing delivery.
Land-owners & Site Developers
We understand that connecting CLH initiatives with opportunities to acquire sites or properties for new projects is fundamental to successfully progressing the development of new homes. Such opportunities could be small stand-alone sites or properties, or a portion of a larger site that has been identified for a range of new housing and neighbourhood provisions. We are therefore keen to hear from land-owners or site developers about how these types of resources could be available for new complementary CLH initiatives.
