We are G15

G15 has published, ‘A city that works for everyone: How social housing supports London’s economy and communities’ a new report exploring the contribution social housing makes to the capital.

Drawing on analysis from the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), the report estimates that social housing residents contributed £27.8 billion to London’s economy in 2024. It also finds that almost two-thirds of employed social housing residents work in key worker roles across sectors including health and social care, education, transport and retail.

The report highlights the wider role of social housing in supporting communities, strengthening public services and enabling people to remain connected to work and local support networks across London.
The report is available to read now.

The G15 Residents’ Group (G15RG) is pleased to announce the appointment of Campbell Tickell as the research partner for A Model for Strategic Resident Involvement – an innovative project exploring how residents can play a stronger role in shaping housing policy and strategic decision-making.

The G15 has responded to the Government’s Warm Homes Fund call for evidence, welcoming the opportunity to help shape investment in warmer, healthier and more affordable homes. We highlight the need to prioritise upgrading existing homes to tackle fuel poverty, reduce energy bills and improve residents’ quality of life, and call for practical, large-scale retrofit supported by long-term funding, realistic grant rates, proportionate regulation, and investment in skills and supply chains.
