Celebrating World CLT Day 2025: Supporting Community-Led Housing Through Strong Partnerships

On World Community Land Trust (CLT) Day 2025, we’re celebrating the power of partnership and the impact of community-led housing.

At CDS Co-operatives, we’re proud to support Community Land Trusts as a Registered Provider of Social Housing. Our partnerships with groups like the Rural Urban Synthesis Society (RUSS) and NW3 CLT are a testament to what’s possible when communities are given the tools and support to lead the way in creating affordable, sustainable, and mixed neighbourhoods.

Through our decades of experience managing housing co-operatives and supporting resident-led organisations, we offer the regulatory assurance and practical expertise needed to help CLTs navigate complex development processes — without compromising on community control.

We believe that communities thrive when they have a genuine stake in shaping their future. That’s why we’re committed to working alongside CLTs and community-led groups to deliver housing that meets local needs and reflects local values.
