New women-only West London tower block will be a 'UK first' as 100 flats being built by 2026

Article here. Excerpt:

'When completed, Brook House in Acton will provide 102 "genuinely affordable" social rented flats, replacing an old 39-home estate. The cost of renting a home will be on average less than a quarter of what it would cost to rent an equivalently sized home in the private sector.

Ealing Council currently has more than 600 single women on its waiting list and over 8,000 households in the borough waiting for a home. The tenants will be a mixture of women from the council waiting list and residents put forward by Women's Pioneer Housing, which will manage the site.

Women's Pioneer Housing was founded in 1920 by suffragists. It manages around 1,000 properties in West London, most of which are studio or one-bedroom flats in large converted Victorian or Edwardian buildings.'
