As a Community Land Trust, we’re a non-profit organisation that owns and develops land for the benefit of the community.
That benefit can come in lots of different ways – from providing affordable homes, to protecting green spaces, to building community services and more.
YorSpace has a track record of generating revenue and accessing grant funding, which when combined with our sector knowledge, will make community led projects come to life.
We are proud to be a member and part of the wider CLT network, which is made up of over 175 organisations across the UK.
The lack of affordable housing in York needs to be tackled urgently. Our new model will create permanently affordable homes which form an essential part of the solution.
We’re building high-performance homes designed on passive solar principles and highly insulated, reducing the power they consume and making them cheaper to run.
We’re committed to using natural & low carbon building materials, helping to pioneer the shift towards a full decarbonisation of homes and communities.
By embedding fairness and cooperation in all our decision making, we’re creating homes that put community inclusion and cohesion at the heart of their design.
