Croydon Council Downsizing Proposal
Croydon Council is exploring incentives for social housing residents to downsize to free up homes for families.
Croydon Council was exploring a proposal to encourage social housing residents in larger properties to downsize, aiming to free up homes for families. This initiative, part of the council's Stabilisation Plan, was discussed by the Scrutiny & Overview Committee in July 2025, following recommendations from the Homes Sub-Committee.
The proposal seeks to address housing needs by encouraging residents who require additional support to move from larger social housing properties, thereby making those homes available for other families. No further meetings or decisions regarding the Croydon Council Downsizing Proposal have been announced since the July 2025 discussion.
