Community and rural housing expertise

Action Hampshire is an integral part of two Hampshire housing partnerships which are working to deliver rural affordable and community led housing across the county.

HARAH – Hampshire Alliance for Rural Affordable Housing
Action Hampshire employs two Rural Housing Enablers who work directly with parish councils and local authorities to help provide affordable housing specifically for local people in rural Hampshire.

Housing is key to communities and helping to deliver the homes that communities need in Hampshire is an important part of our work.

We help community groups and parish councils to identify the housing need in their area, for example through housing need surveys and then support them to deliver the right homes for their community. Through our partnerships we work with local authority planning and housing teams and housing providers to help make this happen for local people in Hampshire.

Pamber parish council were really pleased with the support provided by Action Hampshire’s Rural Housing Enabler helping us through the development process. It was a good experience.

Action Hampshire has always been a useful font of information for us at Winchester Churches Nightshelter. Sue has always been really helpful, and I do find the updates from the ‘wider’ world to be of interest.
Michèle Price, Winchester Churches Nightshelter
Having Action Hampshire as a point of reference, support and guidance is invaluable for small to medium sized charities like ourselves. Without them, we would be far less connected and less able to serve our beneficiaries in a meaningful and coordinated way.
Juno Hollyhock, The Rose Road Association
I have found Action Hampshire to be truly innovative and forward thinking in their approach to their work and their passion for the voluntary and community sector is easily measured through their work to help improve the lives of all sections of the community.
Grant Cornwell, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Foundation
Action Hampshire are the most fantastic organisation and it has been a pleasure to collaborate with them. They are very positive and easy to work with, from Rachel’s warmth on the front desk all the way up to Sue’s vast knowledge and experience on the top floor.
George Scott-Welsh, IncuHive
