Graphic from the Mayor of London with the headline “Great news” and large text reading “Key workers to benefit from 6,000 new rent controlled homes”. A smiling key worker in a burgundy uniform stands holding a phone, with rows of London homes blurred in the background.
Key workers deserve homes they can afford in the city they serve.
That’s why I’m proud to launch my Key Worker Living Rent scheme, which will help NHS staff, firefighters and others into affordable homes for long-term rent, saving potentially thousands of pounds each year.
Great Mental Health Day is coming up soon 🧠
