G15 responds to the GLA's consultation on the proposed London Housing Emergency Measures

The G15 welcomes the Greater London Authority (GLA) taking targeted action to address London’s specific housing challenges, working in collaboration with central government. Housing need continues to rise across the capital, with demand for social and genuinely affordable rented homes far outstripping supply. Delivery has slowed sharply in recent years, driven by persistently high build costs, viability pressures, and, for housing associations, financial demands linked to building safety, increased investment in existing homes and decarbonisation. A London-specific package, coordinated locally and aligned with national intervention, is therefore both necessary and timely.
