Housing support for the armed forces community

In South Tyneside, there are nine flats especially for people who have served in the armed forces.

The flats are fully furnished and are not subject to bedroom tax.

They can accommodate single people, couples or families, and are accessible for people with disabilities.  

Tenants of the flats can stay for up to one year. During this time we can support you with things like:

• making sure you are getting all of the benefits you are entitled to
• accessing training, including transport and accommodation

The flats are well suited for people who are overcoming issues such as money, drug or alcohol problems.

If we think you might benefit from one of these flats, we'll organise an interview with you.

We will ask you about:

• your background
• any issues you have, such as money, drug or alcohol problems
• if you are currently working with anybody for support
• where you have lived in the past and any issues that you had there

If you are currently working with probation, these flats might not be the best fit for you.

We may recommend that you contact Changing Lives. 

If you are interested in one of these flats, call us on 0300 123 6633.
