Ministers set the Housing Corporation a target to complete a minimum of 21,000 dwellings in England in 2002–03. The Corporation's Investment Bulletin, published in April 2002, forecast that approximately 5,200 of these units would be in London.

The bidding round for the 2003–04 approved development programme (ADP) is now in progress. The Housing Corporation's Investment Bulletin for 2003–04 will be published early next year.
