Action on Empty Homes' four key projects:

London buy-to-leave and wealth investment

Our London 'Buy to Leave' and wealth investment project is about London homes that aren't housing anyone. Our starting point was to look at the thousands of London properties bought by investors, who leave them empty to store wealth or to sell-on at a profit. We also look at other categories of empty housing and at how Airbnb has sucked homes out of residential supply.  We have collaborated with colleagues in Australia and the United States to launch a Global Empty Homes Network.

Community Action on Empty Homes toolkit

We have launched a toolkit resource for local authorities and community groups, to support community-led approaches to bringing empty homes into use as affordable housing for local people. 

We will be sharing the AEH Community Action on Empty Homes Toolkit and promoting it as best practice through regional events and workshops, local government and political party conferences, Parliamentary awareness, the Empty Homes Network and community networks.

For more about how this project has developed see our blog on the project's initial stages.

The Coalition for Community Investment

The Coalition for Community Investment wants Government to champion community-based neighbourhood regeneration through investment to fund improvements to existing empty housing stock, with targeted funding for areas with high levels of empty homes.
