Net Zero and Community Led Housing
| Date: 13th July 2022 | Time: 11:00 - 13:00 |
| Location: Online | Cost: £20 + VAT for PHT members £30 + VAT for non-members |
How does the community led housing mission align with the net zero agenda? Join PHT patron Ecology Building Society and PHT member MawsonKerr Architects to discover how they are taking community led housing to the next level through Passivhaus.
Despite the benefits of community-led housing, the sector in the UK remains small compared to other countries in Europe and North America, currently delivering less than 0.3% of total housing output.
Past government initiatives have sought to increase uptake, but the original £163m Community Housing Fund closed at the end of 2019 with only a fraction allocated. However, a new £4 million programme launched in 2021, managed by the Community Led Homes (CLH) partnership, will see more than 1,200 new affordable homes delivered across the UK.
Bring along your burning questions and engage in an array of interesting sessions. This is one not to be missed!
