Overview

Liverpool City Council offers vacant council-owned land and property to third-sector organisations. You can bid for these sites to develop community-led housing projects. This scheme supports community-driven housing solutions. Third-sector organisations like charities, community groups, and social enterprises can apply. The funding comes in the form of access to council land rather than cash grants. There is no set deadline as this appears to be a rolling opportunity. You need to demonstrate how your project will deliver community-led housing. The scheme focuses on making use of empty council properties and land.
