Are you worried that local residents can’t afford to live in your area? Are you looking to deliver new affordable housing for your community?

Community First Yorkshire is working with Hambleton District Council and Ryedale District Council to tackle the problems of providing high quality, local housing for local people at an affordable price.

This breakfast briefing is a great way to hear from a North Yorkshire community group that has built its own affordable homes, as well as industry leading experts.
