Mayor of London unveils boost for homes for older and disabled Londoners
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson has allocated almost £30m of funding to build specialist homes for older and disabled Londoners.
The funding will deliver 669 purpose-built homes on 35 supported housing developments in the capital.
The boost is being delivered by the Mayor’s Care and Supported Housing Fund, in partnership with the Department of Health.
A second phase will launch this summer inviting developers to submit plans to stimulate the private specialised housing market through design, accessibility and technology.
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: “It is essential that we increase the supply of purpose built, quality homes for older and disabled Londoners if they are to have a real choice in how and where they live.
“These affordable homes will help hundreds of Londoners remain in their own communities and, with a greater demand for quality and design, raise the benchmark for how this type of specialised housing is delivered in the future.”
