Bromley Council has accepted a grant for affordable housing development, while Hammersmith and Fulham is reviewing its strategy.

Bromley Council's Executive committee accepted a grant from the Greater London Authority (GLA) in October 2026 to support the development of affordable housing, which is housing provided at a cost below market rates for eligible individuals or families, within the borough. This grant was awarded through the GLA's Affordable and Social Housing Programme (ASHP) and aligns with Bromley's priorities.

In November 2026, Hammersmith and Fulham's Economy and Social Advancement Policy and Accountability Committee is scheduled to receive an update on the Council's Affordable Housing work. The committee will also discuss the progress of the Pathway Bond programme and the H&F Affordable Workspace Strategy.
