a house made of building blocks

Social Policy Unit’s Campbell Roberts’ speech at the 2015 Churches Housing Summit.

Single entity church or community housing organisation linked to existing social, church or community services can operate. They are unlikely however to be as sustainable or as useful as housing entities which are truly community owned and operated.
