The London borough of Newham is facing a severe financial crisis, with warnings of potential bankruptcy primarily due to the exorbitant costs associated with temporary housing. A recent report highlights an 'unprecedented budget gap' exacerbated by the borough's efforts to accommodate its residents amidst a housing market that has failed to meet demand. Over the past five years, house prices in London have surged by £21,000, significantly outpacing the rate of new home construction in England. This crisis is attributed to a combination of government policies and the inherent challenges of building in densely populated areas, which have not kept pace with the growing need for affordable housing. Newham's situation underscores the broader housing affordability crisis plaguing London, calling for urgent action to address the mismatch between housing supply and demand.
