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.
