Who qualifies
Sheltered Housing is available to people over 60 who are:
- a Croydon council or housing association tenant
- a tenant of a private landlord
- a qualifying owner-occupier
- able to live independently with no or few care needs
If you are a couple and only one partner is over 60, you may qualify if there is not a large age gap.
You might also be considered for sheltered housing if you:
• are over 55 and it would meet your needs
• have a disability or certain medical conditions
• are a private homeowner willing to exchange your property to be rented by the council
