New Community-led Housing and loneliness report

Those little connections Community-led housing and loneliness cover

Recently published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (formerly MHCLG), which commissioned the research in 2019, this report shares the research into the impact of community-led housing and co-housing solutions.

Using a mixed-methods research approach, this report reveals that participation in Community-Led Housing (CLH) schemes has a positive impact on loneliness: individuals involved in CLH, whether residents of CLH communities or not, are significantly less likely to feel lonely than similar members of the general public.

It is hoped the report will contribute to better-informed policies for the CLH sector.
