EMCLH Services

The service we offer includes:

1.

Building Local Support

We can help you gather support for the idea of a community-led housing in your community. This could be leaflets, posters, working with the Parish or District Council or holding a public meeting. EMCLH can help you build interest and support.

2.

Building Local Knowledge

Not sure whether you need a CIC or a Ltd Company? Never heard of Homes England? Don’t worry; EMCLH Facilitators are there to guide you through the jargon and paperwork so that you remain focused on the business of helping your community. As long as you are committed, EMCLH will ensure that you create an organisation that is fit to face the challenge of owning land or buildings, will stand the test of time and ensure that future generations continue to feel the benefit.

3.

Building Homes

If you need development, construction or housing management expertise, EMCLH can help you find the right partners. People matter and never more so than in a building project. Through our extensive networks we know which organisations understand community led housing and can partner with communities to deliver lasting benefits.

Building Support for Community Led Housing across the East Midlands and surrounding counties

EMCLH doesn’t only work directly with local communities. We work with a range of statutory and non-statutory organisations to promote community led housing and highlight the massive contribution being made by committed volunteers across the region.
