‘Build Your Own’ Approach To Housing Young People

The CIOB reports that young people will be given the opportunity to build their own homes if plans for a £2.2 million construction scheme are approved.

North Lincolnshire Council wants to start the youth build project with the construction on 16 on-bedroom flats in the region. As well as providing affordable housing for some of the 200 homeless people under 25 who have applied for housing in the area, it is hoped that the project will provide young people with the necessary skills to take up jobs within the construction industry, which is currently suffering from a skills shortage.

The trainees would be supervised by qualified tradesmen during the project, which would be funded by grants from Yorkshire Forward, the Housing Corporation, the Longhurst Group and North Lincolnshire Council.

The cost of the scheme includes training as well as building expenses.
