Funding Opportunities
London Social and Affordable Homes Programme 2026-36
The Mayor has secured up to £11.7 billion to deliver the London Social and Affordable Homes Programme, which will run from 2026 to 2036. The programme will support the delivery of thousands of new social and affordable homes across London, with the overall housing target for the programme to be confirmed after the initial bidding round. Funding is available to deliver projects that can start on site by March 2036 and complete by March 2039. The Mayor is committed to delivering social rented homes, and at least 60 per cent of homes delivered under this programme are expected to be for social rent. This programme will support the delivery of social and affordable homes that meet the different needs of Londoners, by primarily funding social rent, shared ownership, Intermediate rent including Key Worker Living Rent, and London Living Rent. Projects funded through this programme must demonstrate that they are contributing to net additionality, delivering above and beyond what could be secured through the planning system alone.
Council Homes Acquisition Programme (CHAP)
The Council Homes Acquisition Programme (CHAP) was launched by the Mayor of London on November 17, 2023, to address London's unprecedented homelessness crisis, where one in 50 Londoners (over 170,000 people including 83,000 children) are living in temporary accommodation without a secure home. The programme provides funding to enable London councils or their dedicated delivery bodies to purchase properties and convert them into genuinely affordable social rented housing or temporary accommodation for homeless households. CHAP builds on the success of the Mayor's Right to Buy-back programme, which closed in March 2023, and forms part of the broader Affordable Homes Programme (AHP) 2021-26. The long-term goal is to increase the supply of genuinely affordable homes while helping councils acquire and convert existing properties to meet immediate housing needs.
Homes for Londoners: Affordable Homes Programme 2021-2026
The Homes for Londoners: Affordable Homes Programme 2021-2026 is a £4 billion funding programme secured by the Mayor of London from Government to deliver affordable homes across London. This funding is expected to support starts onsite between 2021 and 2026, with completions expected by 2030. In March 2025, the Mayor secured additional Bridge Funding as part of a £2 billion nationwide package for projects that can start on site by March 2027 and complete by June 2029. The Mayor will use this programme to maximise the number of new affordable homes in London. The first funding round saw an estimated £3.4 billion invested in 29,456 affordable homes. The programme is now open to new bids via Continuous Market Engagement (CME) with priorities including estate regeneration projects, increasing the proportion of social rented homes, homes that can start in 2023/24 to accelerate the programme, and supported and specialist provision for vulnerable Londoners. Bids must be submitted through the GLA's Open Project System (OPS).
