Camden Council is currently discussing significant financial pressures on its Housing Revenue Account, impacting the future of council housing.

In December 2025, Camden Council's Housing Scrutiny Committee discussed a report detailing significant financial pressures on its Housing Revenue Account (HRA). The report highlighted a £201 million loss in potential rental income since 2016, attributing this to changes in the self-financing model and capped social rents.

The Secure the Future of Council Housing Coalition is a charity that Camden Council is actively engaged with, advocating for the future of council housing. The financial challenges faced by Housing Revenue Accounts, which struggle to set balanced budgets, are central to discussions about this future.
