The Lawford Housing Enterprise Trust in Essex has the simple and sole aim of providing affordable local housing for young local people, within the Parishes of Lawford, Manningtree and Mistley. The Trust’s schemes support tenants to save funds to put towards a deposit to buy their own home; tenants pay an affordable monthly payment which includes rent and a deposit payment which is returned to them on successful completion of their tenancy. Clare Worden went along to see how it works and asked me for some comments on the idea of 'Almshouses for the young'. More detail here
