Our Rural Housing Enabler starts work

20th Dec 2023

We are delighted to welcome Vince Walsh to the CAN team as our new Rural Housing Enabler.

Working in close partnership with Northumberland County Council, CAN has secured funds made available from the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and channelled through the ACRE Network (Action with Communities in Rural England), to help us enable more affordable homes to be delivered in our smaller communities – where they are needed.

Vince joins us with a vast amount of experience in delivering affordable homes in rural communities and will be looking for innovative partnerships with Parish Councils, Registered Providers, the private sector and others to increase the pipeline of rural affordable housing schemes in Northumberland and support delivery. You can contact Vince via email at vince.walsh@ca-north.org.uk

This is a great opportunity. If your organisation is keen to look at possible projects where clear need has been identified, please get in touch via: info@ca-north.org.uk
