Councils are securing funding to develop affordable housing, with Bromley accepting a GLA grant and Hackney considering a similar award.

Bromley Council's Executive committee accepted a grant from the Greater London Authority (GLA) in October 2026 to support the development of affordable housing within the borough. Hackney Council's Officer Executive Decisions are scheduled to consider a report in November 2026 regarding the award of grant funding from the GLA's London Social and Affordable Homes Programme, which aims to address the borough's housing needs.

Affordable housing refers to homes accessible to people with low to moderate incomes, often provided at a cost below market rates. Discussions on this topic are scheduled for several upcoming meetings in November 2026, including the Brent Pension Board, City of London West Ham Park Committee, Lewisham Sustainable Development Select Committee, Camden Children, Schools and Families Scrutiny Committee, and Kingston New and Old Malden Neighbourhood Committee.
