At least one in 50 Londoners is currently homeless and living in temporary accommodation.
Housing and homelessness pressures pose a critical risk to London boroughs' financial stability.
Ahead of #Budget2024, our chair @clairekholland spoke to @BBCLondonNews.

🎯 from @Georgia_Gould - our former chair, now a government minister - speaking to Politics Home.

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with @Georgia_Gould as our Chair. Her purpose driven and collaborative leadership has served Londoners well. We have learnt so much from her taking a missions approach- she will be a great asset at the heart of government
Many congratulations @Georgia_Gould on this appointment.
Georgia has been our chair since 2020 and provided inspirational leadership throughout that time.
