Summary of request
Request:
May I know please how much money has been allocated in total by this Mayor to HA's, Property builders, Corporate involved parties as a contribution to building costs, where the new builds plans have no provision for Social renters. Does he feel that this money from taxpayers takes in the needs of everyone or just the lucky few?
Our response to your request is as follows:
The Affordable Housing programmes are governed by criteria set out by central government and the Mayor is required to follow those funding and programme requirements. For Affordable housing programmes, the government has set parameters on the tenure priorities and the GLA has followed those programme requirements. The majority of schemes will be a mix of affordable housing tenures and from time to time there may be schemes where homes with social rent tenures are not on site. These will have been considered for allocations alongside the overall programme requirements for tenures set out by central government.
