<p>The Community Housing Fund is currently scheduled to close in March 2020. Ministers
are considering all budgets in the round and allocations will be announced following

that the community-led housing sector offers significant potential for helping to
meet housing need across England. In addition to helping increase the rate of delivery
of new housing, it will help deliver a range of benefits including: diversifying the
house building sector, improving design and construction quality, developing modern
methods of construction, and sustaining local communities and local economies. The
support and close involvement of the local community enables the community-led approach
to secure planning permission and deliver housing that could not be brought forward
through speculative development.</p>
