Tees Valley Living is the partnership set up in 2003 to lead and co-ordinate housing market renewal in the Tees Valley.
Tees Valley local authorities have been allocated over £31.55m between them to begin the housing market renewal up to March 2008 – made up of £18.25m capital grant from the Government and £13.3m from the Regional Housing Board’s Single Housing Investment Pot. Further resources are in the process of being sought to continue the process.
Tees Valley Living sees Housing Market Renewal as a fundamental part of the wider economic regeneration of the Tees Valley city region. Our strategy aims to create a network of sustainable communities through renewal and improvement of existing stock and replacement of obsolete housing with modern homes to change the character of neighbourhoods with housing market failure.
Central to the successful delivery of the Housing Market Renewal programme is the sub-regional partnership structure. The Tees Valley Living partnership is made up of representatives of the five Tees Valley councils, local registered social landlords and the private sector in the form of the Home Builders Federation and Tees Valley Regeneration. Board meetings are also attended by representatives from Government Office North East, One NorthEast, English Partnerships and the Housing Corporation.
The TVL partnership has started a huge job by engaging the interest and support of our local communities and the private sector and is now well placed to deliver sustainable communities.
