Programme

The National Housing Federation is the voice of affordable housing in England. We believe that everyone should have the home they need at a price they can afford. That’s why we represent the work of housing associations and campaign for better housing. Our members provide two and a half million homes for more than five million people. And each year they invest in a diverse range of neighbourhood projects that help create strong, vibrant communities.

What do we want London to look like in 2020?

The ambition is to maintain the capital’s international competitive status and ride on the positive momentum of delivering the Olympics. The housing strategy provides a vision on the future of transport, business and, most importantly to our sector, housing.

•How will future potential mayors want London to look?

•Which parts of the vision are blue sky thinking and which will combat the housing crisis?

•How much of this legacy will be prioritised by future mayors? And what does this mean for housing associations, their tenants and their communities?

Margaret Hodge MP, Barking Labour MP David Lammy MP, Tottenham Labour MP Chair: Professor Tony Travers, Director, London School of Economics and Political Science
