Absolutely. While tackling the housing crisis is not easy and will take time, the Mayor firmly believes that getting councils building again is a key part of the solution.
The Mayor wants to work with councils across London to do all they can to build more homes themselves, and has recently launched Building Council Homes for Londoners – the first ever City Hall programme specifically for council homebuilding – to support councils to get 10,000 new council homes underway over the next four years by providing funding and other support.
