The Housing and Regeneration Committee is tasked
with examining the Mayor's considerable responsibilities for
delivering more affordable homes in London, improving the quality
of existing housing, meeting Londoners' housing needs and promoting
opportunities for mobility across the capital. It pays particular attention to how the Mayor's
housing strategy is being implemented and how the Mayor is
delivering on his promise to provide 54,500 new affordable homes by
2015.
The Committee also monitors the Mayor's
regeneration functions. These include
how he is spending more than £100 million on specific funding
regeneration projects; his powers through the London Plan, which
are being used to promote particular areas for regeneration, and
the operation of his new Mayoral Development Corporation that
covers the Olympic Park.
The Committee is currently investigating
London's private rented
housing sector with specific
reference to ways of expanding the supply of private rented homes
(as part of a drive to increase overall new housing supply in
London), improving the management of sector and making an impact in
terms of achieving higher property standards and more secure and
affordable tenancies for Londoners.
Future projects will feature: reviewing London's
housing associations, the Olympic Park's long term regeneration
plans and how council housing is serving Londoners.
