Khan challenges businesses to offer housing help

13th January 2017

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced that all parts of the City Hall group will offer employees help with renting a flat and urged businesses to follow suit. The campaign, Fifty Thousand Homes, calls on employers to offer staff housing advice and help to buy through mortgage guarantees or loans, preferential lending terms for mortgages and to consider providing quality rental accommodation. More than 100 employers including Mace Group and Grant Thornton UK LLP have signed up, and the campaign is backed by business groups, including London First, and housing charity Shelter.
