Community Ownership Fund

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if it is her Department’s policy to continue the Community Ownership Fund beyond March 2025.

Answered by Alex Norris

Communities will rightly be seeking clarity regarding the future of the Community Ownership Fund.

This Government was elected on a manifesto that stressed its commitment to the communities’ sector and community ownership through empowering communities to own and run those local assets which mean the most to them.

We recognise uncertainty is challenging for groups seeking to save vital community assets; the Government is carefully considering all available options and will confirm plans in due course.
