The Tees Valley Lettings Partnership is asking for your views on proposed changes to the Common Allocations Policy.
Due to the increased demand for social housing within the partnership areas, and the financial pressures currently placed on local councils, considerations include changes to the priority banding criteria, the disqualification period due to anti-social behaviour, and local connections.
The law says that when a local council makes a change to their scheme for allocating social rented housing, which would result in a major change to their policy, members of the public should be invited to make comments on the proposals.
