New homes

We know that having a good home is one of the most important things in life. It becomes even more important when times are tough, as we know they have been, for many of Lambeth’s residents over the past few years.

As part of our refreshed housing strategy, we are committed to accelerating the delivery of affordable housing in the borough, particularly homes at council level (social) rent, to help more families get off our housing waiting list and into the homes they desperately need. 

The New Homes Programme aims to deliver an additional minimum of 500 new affordable homes on council-owned land by 2030.

We will:

  • maximise the delivery of affordable housing
  • deliver at pace
  • prioritise access to new homes and pursue ownership where feasible
  • work closely with residents to create great places to live.

This includes homes at social rent and other affordable tenures. The delivery of homes at social rent will be the priority. Homes at social rent will be for council tenants.
