Housing and Land The Housing and Land directorate is responsible for the Mayor’s plans to deliver new and improved homes and strong communities. Working closely with boroughs and partners, we manage the Mayor’s housing investment programmes and land and property assets to support the building of affordable homes, job creation and regeneration. About the team The housing crisis is one of the greatest challenges facing the capital – and the Mayor of London is committed to tackling it.
