Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

Homelessness Strategy

Stockton-on-Tees has attained the achievement of Regional Centre Of Excellence for Youth Homelessness for two consecutive years (2007 and 2008).

Working in partnership with other departments within the authority and other local organisations, we aim to both tackle homelessness when it occurs and to prevent it in the first place. We recognise that meeting the needs of young people who are experiencing housing difficulties is not just about having a home. It requires a joined up approach to all the issues that affect young people.

We have developed a Young Person's Homelessness Strategy which is available to be downloaded from this page which provides all the information on how Stockton aims to tackle the issues surrounding youth homelessness.
