Affordable rural housing event, 8th October 2024

Warwickshire Rural Housing Association (WRHA)

WRHA are a rural housing specialist, committed to delivering affordable homes for local people in Warwickshire's rural communities.

WRCC (Warwickshire Rural Community Council)

WRCC deliver the Rural Housing Enabler project across Warwickshire, which encourages rural communities to seize the initiative and get involved in the provision of affordable new homes.

Come along and find out about two new affordable housing schemes, which will provide 19 much-needed homes for the rural communities of Broom and Claverdon.

We'll show you the two sites, and explain more about the process of bringing these rural schemes to reality. After lunch we'll talk you through the roles of the different partners involved in enabling rural homes and how the community is involved throughout.

All are welcome.

It's for anybody with an interest in supporting the sustainability of Warwickshire's rural communities through the provision of affordable social housing.

All parish councils, district councillors and council officers will find the training useful.
