This community housing project actively involves local people in the renovation of derelict housing stock.Canopy has recently expanded into Harehills to work on 15 properties, leased from Leeds City Council and deemed as uneconomical to repair. One will be used as Canopy's base and a community resource, while the others will be prepared for occupancy. The community base is an accessible open resource with laundry and IT facilities, and is available as a venue for local group meetings.
