By 2014, the average rural home cost 14 times the average income. Our booklet ‘A Home for Where the Heart Is’ shares stories from residents for whom an affordable home transformed their life, and it continues to encourage other communities to support rural affordable housing.

‘A Home for Where the Heart Is’ applauds parish councils and communities who have worked with us to deliver rural affordable housing schemes which have made a lasting difference to hundreds of local families…

“We are thrilled to be able to continue living here”
“I feel less isolated, I have my friends and family here.”
“It is such a lovely community, everyone knows everyone”

Action Hampshire is an integral part of the Hampshire Homes Hub, which was born out of the HARAH partnership. We work to deliver community led and rural homes across Hampshire. More information about the community housing expertise that we can provide can be found via this link.
