Community Ownership Fund: South Holland and the Deepings
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much funding was provided through the Community Ownership Fund to projects in South Holland and the Deepings constituency in each year since 2019.
Answered by Alex Norris
The Community Ownership Fund was initially launched in 2021 under the previous government. Across its lifetime It has awarded around £100 million to over 300 projects across every region of the UK. Applications have been assessed by a fair and transparent framework that is publicly available on gov.uk.
Projects must demonstrate their ability to run a sustainable business under community ownership and meet minimum scoring criteria to be considered for funding. Development support has been on offer to assist applicants. To date there have been no projects from South Holland and The Deepings who have met the threshold to be considered for funding.
