What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Greater London Authority confirmed borough allocations for the London Social and Affordable Housing Programme. London Councils reported that boroughs have identified sites for over 50,000 new council homes over the next decade, which would increase London’s current council housing stock by 15% if suitable funding is secured. Realizing this pipeline requires approximately £12.3 billion in grant funding, though the LSAHP is set to receive £11.7 billion between 2026 and 2036.
