Sutton Council is establishing a new not-for-profit social housing provider, a Community Benefit Society (CBS), which the Sutton Shareholdings Board approved in August 2026. This new entity aims to increase the supply of affordable homes in the borough.

The CBS will be registered with the Regulator of Social Housing and will seek recognition as an exempt charity from His Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC). HMRC is the UK government department responsible for collecting taxes and administering tax credits.
