Newham Council is currently investing £9 million from its Retrofit Programme to refurbish Hamara Ghar sheltered housing.

Newham Council is currently investing £9 million from its Retrofit Programme to refurbish Hamara Ghar, a sheltered housing block in Plaistow North. This decision was made by the council's Cabinet in December 2025, with the aim of modernising the building and improving living conditions for its elderly and vulnerable residents. The contract for the refurbishment, modernisation, and retrofit project was awarded to Mulalley & Co Ltd for £8.1 million.

An additional £900,000 was allocated for other costs, bringing the total budget to £9 million, funded from uncommitted capital allocations within the Retrofit Programme. No further discussions or decisions regarding the Newham Council Retrofit Programme are currently scheduled.
