Communities Housing Trust (CHT) is a registered charity working in rural, remote and island areas across central and northern Scotland to build truly sustainable communities.
 
We actively tackle rural repopulation and regeneration by facilitating community-led affordable housing, other key community facilities such as commercial or education space and developing and implementing new housing tenures and models. We then protect this housing stock, and its affordability, for local communities in perpetuity, with innovations such as the Rural Housing Burden.
 
We are the leading organisation delivering community-led housing in Scotland.
