Building affordable and council homes is a priority for the Mayor in tackling London's housing crisis and a key component of the London Housing Strategy. The GLA Housing team monitor a range of housing statistics produced by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), and this spreadsheet contains a section from the Affordable Housing Open Data. This data has been used to measure the number of affordable and council homes built in London since 2016/17 and includes all affordable homes built, including those which did not receive funding from the GLA. This dataset does not incorporate DLUHC data for 2021/22 or GLA data for 2022/23.

FOCUSONLONDON2011: HOUSING:AGROWINGCITY With the highest average incomes in the country but the least space to grow, demand for housing in London has long outstripped supply, resulting in higher housing costs and rising levels of overcrowding. The pressures of housing demand in London have grown in recent years, in part due to fewer people leaving London to buy homes in other regions. But while new supply during the recession held up better in London than in other regions, it needs to increase significantly in order to meet housing needs and reduce housing costs to more affordable levels. This edition of Focus on London authored by James Gleeson in the Housing Unit looks at housing trends in London, from the demand/supply imbalance to the consequences for affordability and housing need. REPORT: Read the report in PDF format. PRESENTATION: How much pressure is London’s popularity putting on housing provision in the capital? This interactive presentation looks at the effect on housing pressure of demographic changes, and recent new housing supply, shown by trends in overcrowding and house prices.

The London Housing Strategy sets out the Mayor's plans to tackle the capital's housing crisis and his vision to provide all Londoners with a good quality home they can afford. The draft strategy was published for a 12-week consultation between 6 September and 7 December 2017. Responses were received from over 2,000 members of the public via surveys, online discussion threads, and written correspondence. Over 200 organisations also submitted written responses to the draft strategy. The consultation response report, available at www.london.gov.uk/housing-strategy, provides an accurate summary of responses to the consultation. Quantitative information used to develop this report are set out below.
