Mayor awards £127million for new council homes in Haringey

Haringey have been awarded £127million by the Mayor of London – the third highest grant in the capital – for new council homes in Haringey.

The funding will be used to build 647 brand new council homes at council rents over the next five years – the fourth highest amount to be delivered by any London borough receiving the funding.

This is in addition to the 3000 council homes we have committed to building over the next decade.

In line with our aims to be a net zero carbon borough by 2041, developments of 10 or more homes must be net zero carbon.

Cllr Ruth Gordon, Cabinet Member for House Building, Placemaking and Development said:

“I’m delighted we’ve been able to secure one of the highest grants of any local authority in London, which is a real vote of confidence on our ability to deliver on our ambitious plans to build new council homes.

“We welcome the Mayor’s support for the critical role our housebuilding programme will play in achieving our pledge to become a zero carbon borough by 2041.

“I’m proud that hundreds more families will benefit from a new start and the opportunity for a secure home in warm, safe, good quality council homes.”
