What if many people in Eastbourne became members of Eastbourne Community Land Trust and raised funds to acquire property and land to develop homes. We would together hold the homes in Trust for ever so that future generations could afford to live in Eastbourne.
If we did this, people on local wages could buy a share in their own home, which they would own with us. This would give them housing security and help them put down roots within the communities in which they grew up.
179 people in Eastbourne have already become members of this movement for change.

What is an affordable housing scheme, and how can it help you get on to the property ladder?
Buying through shared ownership: When you buy a home through a shared ownership scheme you buy a share of the property and pay rent on the rest.
The share you can buy is usually between 25% and 75%. You can buy a 10% share on some homes..
