A former police station is likely to be converted into housing for people in need.
The building in St Andrew's Road, Portslade, was used by police when Portslade was a separate town.
It is owned by Brighton and Hove City Council and at a housing meeting tomorrow it will be recommended to transfer the building to an association.
It would then be redeveloped so homes could be offered to council nominees.
A study will also consider whether more housing can be built on a yard and garages at the back of the building.
Council officials say housing is the best use for the site.
