Appendix 1a - Housing: Overview What are the benefits we're pursuing for Londoners? 1) More Londoners have access to good quality homes that meet their needs and that they can afford. 2) Londoners renting privately will get a better deal and be protected from criminal landlords. 3) The scourge of homelessness will be tackled and all rough sleepers will be offered a route off the streets. Governance and risk Targets and objectives Timescales Spend A AGG Updates Highlights and progress Affordable homes (and land) - To the end of December, 33,767 affordable housing starts had been recorded against the Mayor's target of 116,000 housing starts by March 2022. The Mayor's new Building Council Homes for Londoners programme is now in delivery and the first units (121) are captured in this figure. Allocations are in place for about 107,000 affordable homes against the overall target; this is good progress with over three years left to add starts. - A planning application was submitted to LB Newham for 5,000 homes on land owned by the GLA and joint venture partners Keystone. Rogue Landlord and Agents Checker (RLAC) - Media coverage by the Guardian, in which it contrasted the Checker favourably with the Government's national database, led to higher than expected visits to the RLAC; there have been 74,600 clicks since this metric began to be tracked (ie. over the 2018 calendar year). Homelessness - No Second Night Out (NSNO) floating assessment hubs took place in Newham, Lambeth and Hackney in Q3 with further hubs planned for Westminster, Southwark and Camden in Q4. Performance for Q3 was that 81% of those accessing the hubs were provided accommodation and 73% exited rough sleeping. - All Housing Justice staff are recruited and an additional 68 bed spaces were made available by the end of Q3, with a further 66 to be available from Q4 through the Equipping Shelter fund. - All boroughs have signed up to the new Severe Weather Emergency Provision protocol, including the 'in for good' principle.

There are three types of such homes: i) low cost rented homes, allocated according to need to Londoners on low incomes; ii) intermediate rented homes for Londoners on middle incomes; and iii) affordable home ownership aimed at Londoners who cannot afford to buy on the open market. The target is to start on site to build 116,000 affordable homes between April 2015 and the end of March 2022. - The number of starts from previous years from the current programme is 27,701 (7,231 in 2015-16; 7,915 in 2016-17 and 12,555 2017-18). - 'Start on site' means the occurrence of all of the following: a) the building contract has been entered into; b) the building contractor has taken possession of the site; and c) the start on site works have commenced. Commentary - To the end of December (and since April 2015), 33,767 affordable housing starts had been recorded against the Mayor's target of 116,000 housing starts by March 2022. We expect to meet this year's target, achieving in excess of 14,000 further starts. - Additional funding to deliver affordable homes by 2022 was announced over the course of the summer, increasing allocations against the target. - Allocations for the Building Council Homes for Londoners programme were made in October for 14,724 homes to 2022. Allocations for almost 10,000 additional affordable homes and six new Strategic Partners were announced in November. Allocations are now in place for about 107,000 affordable homes of the 116,000 target. - We are working with housing providers to increase starts in 2019/20, 20/21 and 21/22. Meetings with major partners are continuing with a review of any interventions needed to increase their programmes. - We have entered into an Memorandum Of Understanding with the Department of Health and Social Care extending the timeframe for the Care and Support programme to (starts by) 31 March 2021, with a budget of up to £31m in 2018/19 and up to £24m in each of the two subsequent years. - The indicator has been rated amber as delivery against the full target is challenging, particularly in relation to the volumes expected in in the final two years of the programme. 10,000 Council Homes target PI-4 Past Years' Most Recent Cumulative 2018/19 2019/20 Data next End Target On track?

One of the key objectives of the programme is to build at least 10,000 new council and Right to Buy replacement homes. - All homes started by councils between October 2018 and March 2022 and recorded on GLA OPS (the GLA's grants/project management system) will be reported against the 10,000 Council Homes target. The definition of 'start' is the same as for the wider Affordable Homes Programme. Commentary - This target represents an approximate five-fold increase compared to recent delivery, so is extremely challenging - hence the amber rating. Area Teams are working closely with boroughs to address delivery issues and provide support and expertise to help councils with specific project issues. Bids for the GLA's Homebuilding Capacity Fund, set up to provide further support to the boroughs have now been received and these are under going assessment now. - Bidding for the programme closed on 30 September 2018 with great ambition shown by London's councils. On 23 October 2018 the Mayor announced funding allocations for over 14,000 new affordable homes. These will now be worked up into contractual commitments. While some attrition to the programme may occur, particularly in relation to the timeframes for delivery, the over-programming will assist in the aim to achieve this challenging target. - The first contract for Building Council Homes for Londoners has now been signed, with a focus on completing the remainder in February 2019. An indicative profile of delivery against the 10,000, for this and next year, is presented here for the first time (only the overall 10,000 target was included in the Q2 report).
