What's self-help housing and why is it important? Canopy Housing Project is a self-help housing organisation based in Leeds, U.K., creating decent homes by renovating derelict ones. Steve Hoey has been running Canopy Housing for the last six years and I asked him why he does what he does.  Also in this episode, the five essentials of self-help housing and Steve's great book recommendation. http://canopyhousing.org
