The Mayor has overall responsibility for affordable housing policy and delivery in London. To support this, the Government has provided a record-breaking £3.15 billion package of funding for affordable housing in London, for at least 90,000 new affordable homes by March 2021.

The Mayor recently announced winning bids for the Affordable Homes Programme in London which can be found at: https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/record-17bn-deal-for-new-homes

The delivery of affordable housing in England is reported in live tables 1000 – 1009 https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-affordable-housing-supply

Planning for future social and affordable housing is the responsibility for the local authority and the department does not centrally hold figures on future expected delivery.
