Sheltered housing

Sheltered housing is provided by the council and by housing associations in the borough who work with us, using a shared application register.

To apply, you'll need to:

1. Submit a sheltered housing application.
2. Complete and return the self assessment form.

There are other forms to fill in if you're a croydon or housing association tenant, or you own or rent your own property privately.

Sorry, this form is currently unavailable while we make some changes to our housing online services. To support residents during this time, you can complete the notification of a housing application form.

We will let you know once the housing application is available and invite you to make a full application.

If your housing needs qualify you to be included on the housing register, your application will be backdated to the date of you submit the notification form above.

If you have any questions about the housing register, please email HSG-REHOUSING@croydon.gov.uk

If you're a Croydon or housing association tenant

You'll also need to complete our housing transfer application form. Tick the box in the section "What type of property would you like to live in?" to say you would like sheltered accommodation.

If you own your own property or rent it privately

You'll also need to complete our housing application form. Tick the box in the section "What type of property would you like to live in?" to say you would like sheltered accommodation.

2. Complete and return a self assessment form

After we've received your sheltered housing application, we will send you a self assessment form which you'll need to complete and return to us. This will also include a financial assessment to check if you're entitled to any help with the charges.
