Lambeth Council has launched an Empty Homes and Voids Action Plan to address the acute housing shortage affecting the borough, where over 5,500 individuals applied for homelessness assistance last year. The initiative focuses on collecting better data about vacant properties and increasing contractor accountability to expedite necessary repairs. Cllr Danny Adilypour highlighted the pressure on local communities and the council budget caused by the lack of affordable housing. Additionally, the plan encourages community involvement by urging residents to report empty homes, enabling the council to investigate and bring these properties back into use.
