Social housing

If you wish to apply for a socially rented property you will need to join Tees Valley Homefinder.

Common Allocation Policy Consultation

Due to an increased demand for housing, the Tees Valley Lettings Partnership are considering making changes to their Common Allocations Policy. 

A Common Allocations Policy sets out the rules that decide who can apply for social housing and the priority they will be given. The main changes we are consulting on are, our priority bands, local connection criteria and the exemption periods in relation to anti-social behaviour.

We are consulting with all applicants, social landlords and relevant stakeholders to seek their views and opinions and we would like to hear from you!

This consultation is now closed.  We will update once all responses have been collated and agreed.
