Croydon Council is currently focusing on tackling homelessness and improving financial sustainability.

In September 2026, Croydon Council's Cabinet approved a new strategy to tackle homelessness and boost housing supply, projecting £10 million in savings by 2030. The council also approved a £19.7 million Crisis and Resilience Fund for residents facing hardship and is planning to build 1,000 new homes, awaiting a Greater London Authority decision.

The Cabinet also approved a new Youth Justice Plan for 2026/27 in September 2026, aiming to reduce re-offending rates. Additionally, a revised Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charging schedule, intended to generate more revenue for infrastructure, received Cabinet approval and awaits adoption by Full Council.

To improve financial sustainability, the council approved a financial strategy for 2027-30 in August 2026. Staff will face new responsibilities under the Hillsborough Law, set to be enacted in April 2027, requiring preparatory work. The council is also preparing for Regulator of Social Housing inspections in late 2026.
