Accommodation Support

We can offer advice, information and support to help you improve your housing situation.

Our members of staff are here to help you search, calculate budget plans for affordable accommodation and also let you use our phones to contact landlords.

You can use our computers to manage your new Tees Valley Home Finder account(previously known as The Council's Compass account) and submit property bids.

There are a vast range of factors that can affect your housing situation. It is better to address any problems early as most can be fixed before they become unmanageable.

Our services can help you :

  • assess your housing options
  • Identify your housing needs
  • referral to emergency accommodation if you become homeless
  • Search for affordable housing
  • Search for suitable housing
  • Use phone facilities to contact landlords
  • Use our phone facilities to contact DWP for change of address
  • You can use our computer facilities to update housing details onto a Universal Credit claim

    Bike Stop

    Bike Stop is our social enterprise and it provides a range of supported volunteering and work experience for those who are furthest from the jobs market. In particular those who have no work experience and may come from families with no work background or they may have a particular barrier that has kept them from succeeding. To do this work, we recycle donated bicycles and sell them to the local community to help support the cost of the training.
