Our director, Levent Kerimol spoke to the London Assembly Housing Committee about community led housing, alongside:
• Tom Copley, Deputy Mayor for Housing and Residential Development,
• Dr Tom Moore from the University of Liverpool, and
• Paul Nicoll from Triodos Bank.
We drew on our reflections for the future looking at the barriers to community led housing, and how we might think differently to give people control and belonging without the challenges encountered to date.
The earlier session also covered useful ground and featured:
• Tom Chance, Community Land Trust Network
• Niall Mulholland, London Federation of Housing Co-operatives
• Fatimatu Mohamed, Gida Housing Co-operative
• Bernadette Marjoram, Board Member, Meridian Home Start
The Assembly Committee has also issued a call for evidence from anyone who would like to contribute written submissions. Please see the details on their website and get responses in by Thursday 22 August 2024.
