Eldon Housing Association is a specialist in the provision and management of housing for older people. We have been able to respond to changing needs by listening and learning from others and responding to this by creating innovative housing solutions and services.

The Association aims to provide housing and support for those living in the Borough of Croydon with housing and support/care needs. Applicants for housing must therefore already live in the Borough or have a local connection such as having previously lived in the Borough or have supporting relatives living in the Borough.
