Housing
60 second overview
The cost of housing is a key driver of poverty in the capital. Many Londoners do not have access to genuinely affordable housing, which is also good quality and secure. Creating such homes is essential, as is addressing the persistent problem of homelessness. We are working with some fantastic partners on solving some of these problems.
