Great campaign by @CommLandTrusts on funding for #communityledhousing
This would be really great for those CLT members in cities heavily effected by tourism and second home ownership like #York
It's #WorldCLTDay2025 on 16/17th May

This point is kicked around a lot by our team when thinking of the accessibility of housing.
@loficoho members keep returning to this thinking as they design and plan shared facilities too
