housing actions
Croydon Council is assessing the impact of its housing actions on other services following a Homes Sub-Committee recommendation.
Croydon Council is set to assess the impact of its housing actions, which are decisions related to housing, on other council services and the voluntary sector. This move, recommended by its Homes Sub-Committee in July 2025, addresses concerns about potential unintended consequences, especially regarding demand modelling for temporary accommodation placement.
The assessment is influenced by the council's financial situation, as detailed in the 2024-25 Provisional Outturn Financial Performance Report. This report indicated a general fund revenue budget provisional overspend of £29.2 million, which was later reduced to a £0.7 million underspend through one-off measures.
