Welcome to Compass, pointing you to affordable housing in the Tees Valley |
Compass is the Choice Based Lettings Scheme (CBL) for the Tees Valley sub region. The scheme is made up of the following partner organisations:
• Erimus Housing • Housing Hartlepool • Coast & Country • Tristar • Darlington Borough Council
• Middlesbrough Council • Redcar & Cleveland Council • Hartlepool Borough Council •
• Stockton Borough Council • Accent Group • Home • Tees Valley Housing Limited
|
Our aim is to help you find an affordable home in the Tees Valley and to give you more choice in deciding where you would like to live. We will do this by giving you advice about a range of housing options, such as council and registered social landlord rented accommodation, low cost home ownership options and private rented accommodation. If you want to be considered for housing in any of the local authority areas in the Tees Valley , you will need to register with the scheme by clicking online application form or by requesting a paper application from the partner organisation operating in the area in which you live. Available properties are advertised on this website and in the Compass newsletter every week. You can find out more about the advertising cycle by clicking how the scheme works. |
