Housing Inequalities
Councils are working to increase genuinely affordable housing, with Lambeth continuing its New Homes Programme and Ealing adopting a new strategy.
Lambeth Council's Cabinet approved the continuation of its New Homes Programme projects and workstreams for 2026/27 in March 2026. This programme aims to enable the delivery of at least 10,000 new homes, addressing the need for increased housing supply.
Addressing housing inequalities, Ealing Council adopted its Housing Strategy 2025-2030 in July 2025, outlining its commitment to ensuring access to good quality, genuinely affordable housing. The strategy defines genuinely affordable homes as those where housing costs take up no more than a third of net income or 40% of gross household income.
