Homelessness prevention

The Key Step team offers a homelessness prevention service for people aged 18 to 34 across the Tees Valley who are at risk of homelessness.

The team provides housing advice and temporary supported accommodation for people who are homeless or face the threat of homelessness.

Key Step identifies people at risk of homelessness and works to improve their lives by offering support and advice: this can include help with finding a home or a job, or building resilience and independence.
