Haringey Council has begun moves to take its housing arm back in-house, but faces accusations it is trying to “sneak through” the change.
Council leader Joseph Ejiofor said the plan is part of a review into building a “fairer” borough.
Haringey Liberal Democrats have questioned the timing of the proposal during the pandemic, when it says opportunities for consultation are limited”.
Homes for Haringey, set up in 2006, is an arms-length management organisation responsible for council housing, managing more than 20,000 properties and employing around 750 staff.
A consultation will look into bringing it back under council control.
