Wayshaper is owned by The Confederation of Co-operative Housing and is licenced to Community Led Homes. It has been created to help accelerate the planning of community led housing projects by providing a framework for informed decision-making.

Community Led Homes

Community Led Homes is a partnership project between the Confederation of Co-operative Housing, Locality, the National Community Land Trust Network and UK Cohousing. It is a joint effort to make community led housing as easy as possible for those that want to do it and has supported hundreds of community led housing groups. Our aim is for community led housing to become a mainstream housing option. We’ve also developed and run a training and accreditation programme to equip advisors with the skills and knowledge to guide groups, jointly accredited by the Chartered Institute of Housing.
