Housing Company
Hammersmith and Fulham Council is establishing a wholly-owned housing company to increase the supply of family homes.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council decided in November 2025 to establish a wholly-owned housing company, aiming to deliver 30 new homes in its first year. The council's Cabinet approved the company's incorporation and noted its draft business plan. Officers are scheduled to provide regular progress updates and an annual report to Cabinet. The company plans to refurbish council-owned void blocks and acquire additional homes, with three disused blocks identified as pilot sites.
This initiative follows the council's adoption of a Family Housing Strategy in July 2025, which aims to increase the supply of homes suitable for families. A report to the Cabinet highlighted that 907 households were seeking a 3-bedroom home in March 2025, with 313 of these being homeless, underscoring the demand for family housing.
