London boroughs are building homes again. The Council-Led Housing Network (CLHN) helps housing teams in local authorities strengthen in-house skills through expert advice, peer support and shared best practice.

Future of London runs the Council-Led Housing Network to provide access to expert knowledge through our expert panel, offer peer-to-peer support via dedicated peer groups, and share good practice through a unique resource library.The network is supported by the Mayor of London as part of his commitment to growing new council house building.

London local authority teams can find out how to get involved and register here.

Expert panel

Access experts with deep experience in housing delivery at monthly online sessions. Bring challenges, test ideas, and get practical guidance.

Peer groups

Connect with borough teams in similar roles, creating a space to share insights, troubleshoot problems, and develop solutions together.

Resource library

Explore a curated collection of case studies, notes from expert sessions, and proven approaches to common housing development challenges.

Good practice research

Councils are major house builders with ambitious targets. Growth requires them to operate effectively so we’re collecting examples of good practice.

About the Council-Led Housing Network

The CLHN builds on the former Council-Led Housing Forum, which brought boroughs together to learn from each other and engage with sector experts. A 2020 Bloomberg Associates report on accelerating council-led delivery recommended the Mayor expand this knowledge-sharing and peer support — the CLHN is the result.

The network is open to all London boroughs. If your team is involved in council-led housing development, register your interest here and we’ll be in touch.

The Council-Led Housing Network is supported by the Mayor of London as part of the commitment to increase council housebuilding.
