We have created a hardship fund to support council tenants who do not receive state benefits such as housing benefit and universal credit.
This fund offers tenants the opportunity to apply for a one-off lump sum payment of £500 to be added to their rent account.
In addition to this, we will assess your finances to advise if you may be eligible for welfare benefits that you have not been receiving. If you are interested, call: 020 8726 6100 and ask for the income recovery team, or email: CouncilRents@croydon.gov.uk
