A National Plan to End Homelessness
Croydon Council is aligning its homelessness strategy with the national plan, focusing on demand management and customer experience.
Croydon Council's Housing Assurance Board discussed the borough's approach to homelessness in March 2026, aligning it with the national strategy. The council is focusing on demand management and improving customer experience, following a 50% rise in homelessness applications in 2024/25, averaging 400 per month.
The national plan, published in December 2025, aims to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring by shifting local systems towards prevention and setting new expectations for councils. No further council meetings are currently scheduled to discuss this topic.
