Leeds Community Homes is planning a second community share issue very soon. The new project is called Armley Community Homes and will focus on raising funds for housing plans on Mistress Lane in Armley.
The money raised by community investors will be put directly into developing 34 new affordable and energy efficient new homes in Armley.
Armley Community Homes will be Leeds Community Homes’s flagship project as a developer of community housing. It will enable them to develop their project and support and inspire more local groups as a community partner.
In the run up to the share issue launch, they will be setting up an Armley Stakeholders group for people who are interested in getting involved or supporting the project.
Whether that be as potential residents or as a member of the wider community who has an interest in getting involved with community consultation and being part of the design process for the communal shared areas and outdoor spaces.
They are also keen to hear from people who are interested in helping to shape how the community will work.
There are also potential opportunities to evolve into the resident management association and the possibility of training and work opportunities during the build to learn new skills.
If you are interested in joining the stakeholder group or finding out more about Armley Community Homes you can complete this short form to express your interest.
