The Mayor has secured more than £4.8bn to start building at least 116,000 affordable homes by 2022.
Increasing housing supply
Our vision for increasing housing supply and building homes for Londoners
The Mayor believes the only way to fix London’s housing crisis is to build far more
new homes. These new homes need to be genuinely affordable to Londoners.
For years, we haven’t built enough new homes to meet demand. We have become
over-reliant on a relatively narrow range of development models, sites, and types of
homes. To address this challenge, we must diversify who builds homes, and where
and how they are built.
The Mayor’s Homes for Londoners team will pursue, support,
and lobby for the changes required to make this happen. This includes new funding
and policy approaches, as well as partnering with other levels of government and the
housing industry.
