The strategy also mirrors other recommendations from our report, including:
🏠 A commitment to extend the Decent Homes Standard & Awaab’s Law to TA & to eliminate use of B&Bs
ℹ️ A new TA Toolkit to provide good practice guidance, including on management of out-of-area placements.

We're grateful that @london.gov.uk & @tomcopley.bsky.social have been backing this project from the very start.

We're excited to keep working with the GLA, TfL, the local MP, the council & the community to get this underway in 2026 & bring more affordable homes to Londoners. @londonclt.bsky.social
