The Community Housing Enabler works across North Yorkshire to support community groups in the delivery of community led housing projects across the region. They are employed by North Yorkshire Council to offer a free and impartial advice service to anyone interested in exploring the need for community led housing projects in North Yorkshire 

The support we offer is varied and can include: 

• Providing information about affordable housing and who it is suitable for.
• Provide information on the different models of CLH and consider the most appropriate option for your community.
• Facilitating community engagement and discussion with parish, town councils and community groups. 
• Identifying affordable housing needs through a housing needs survey.
• Finding suitable land, partners and funding options - including support with the application process for our Community Housing Fund. 
• Supporting communities through the development process with community consultations. 
• Liaising with internal teams, (eg planning and communities), registered providers and communities.
• Access to virtual peer support network with other Community Led Housing groups across North Yorkshire
