Homelessness
What we know
The top 3 reasons for presentation to the Homelessness Service are:
- individuals have been asked to leave accommodation by friends or family
- termination of tenancies by private landlords
- households fleeing domestic abuse
Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council commission Short-Term Housing Related Supported Accommodation to help relieve homelessness. There are:
- 88 units for single people experiencing homelessness
- 20 units for families experiencing homelessness
These units offer 7 hours of support for each individual or family staying in them.
The number of those in need of supported accommodation is greater than the number of commissioned accommodations, Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council also utilises emergency accommodation in the form of bed and breakfasts.
