Communities Housing Trust

About

We work to tackle rural depopulation and deprivation in rural, remote and island communities by facilitating genuinely affordable housing, new housing tenures and models, and other key community facilities. We then protect this housing stock, and its affordability, for local communities in perpetuity, with innovations such as the Rural Housing Burden. Despite the many barriers to rural repopulation, our work increases populations, helps maintain key services such as schools and ferries, grows and diversifies local circular economies, and supports rural trades and skills.
