Witton Lodge Community Association, Birmingham

Affordable Homes Programme 2011-15

We’ve invested £500K community-led AHP funding in 20 homes

Working with resident-led Witton Lodge Community Association (WLCA), Birmingham City Council and

Lovell Partnerships

Birmingham’s first community-led housing and the final phase of redevelopment in Perry Common

2 new apprenticeships created: a bricklayer and carpenter, who started in April 2014.

“They were exactly the sort of organisation for which our community-led programme was all about. They demonstrated strong community governance, resident involvement and a clear understanding of local needs.

Baggi Mattu, HCA Area Manager

We are really pleased that our support is enabling them to deliver these 20 really important homes in their

20th year”

“A lot of work has been done in Perry Common over the last 20 years to improve the housing and environment and it’s great that work to build more homes is still going on today.

It makes you feel proud to be from

Perry Common.”Linda Hines, Resident Director and Chair of WLCA

I have lived here for over 30 years and it’s really good to meet new people who are moving into the area and who are really excited about living here, which hasn’t always been the case.
