Affordable housing in London hits record low, according to figures

Figures published by the Greater London Authority (GLA) show that the number of affordable homes started in the capital the year to March 31 was just 3,244, the lowest number since at least 2008/09, when records began. Analysis shows that this includes 2,358 homes started by the GLA, which is led by the Mayor, and another 886 begun by private developers or housing associations. It also represents an 88% fall compared to 2022/23, when 27,824 affordable homes were started.
