Part of 2. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:39 pm on 4 October 2016.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say that local authorities can only be enablers; they are important builders of houses as well. But it’s not the only model, and that we understand. We know that housing associations will continue to be important in the provision of affordable homes, and, of course, innovative new solutions. We’ve talked in the past about community land trusts, of shared equity schemes. Co-operative housing schemes, I believe, are certainly models that can be explored fully in the future, and we would seek to provide what support we can in order for those models to be taken forward.
