Community Land Trusts

Mr. Drew
17. To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what additional help she plans to make available to encourage the setting up of community land trusts.

We are supporting 14 pilots for community land trusts through the Housing Corporation by:

giving local communities access to land for affordable house building;

inviting trusts to bid for funding through the National Affordable Housing Programme; and

providing support through the Innovation and Good Practice Programme.
