CDS has a long history of innovation in community led housing, from devising early model rules for Community Land Trusts, and conceiving of the Mutual Home Ownership Society (MHOS). This flexible model is set out in Common Ground for Mutual Home Ownership, 2007 and A Consumer’s Guide to Mutual Home Ownership, 2011
