Homesteading Schemes (HS) are a type of housing scheme that is designed to bring about positive change in local communities by providing affordable housing for local people and supporting the development of community-led initiatives. The purpose of HS is to create an environment where people can build their own homes, with the help of local non-profit organisations, while also encouraging the development of social, environmental and economic activities within the local area. The scope of HS includes housing initiatives that are aimed at promoting and providing access to affordable housing, supporting local entrepreneurs, providing employment and training opportunities, and promoting environmental sustainability. HS also includes community-led initiatives, such as neighbourhood regeneration, neighbourhood development, and community-based initiatives. HS also seeks to promote the development of a safe and healthy neighbourhood and create an environment where people can live and work in harmony.
