Deadline: 13 October 2026

Overview

Grant expressions of interest close at 11:59pm UK time on 13 October 2026. The wider City Hall Developer Investment Fund offers a mixture of grants, loans and equity for London housing developments; debt and equity proposals continue after the grant deadline. The £324 million fund total is not a per-project award limit. The GLA seeks to recover funding where possible, so financial terms must be confirmed for each proposal.

Requirements to check

Key requirements:

  • Confirm grant, loan, equity and recovery terms with the GLA; the fund is not wholly non-repayable.

London boroughs, public bodies and publicly owned entities, registered providers of social housing, and UK-registered corporate private developers. Projects must meet the London housing delivery, capital expenditure and public-intervention requirements. The guidance prioritises schemes of at least 100 homes and completion by summer 2029.
