STARS is a housing and support service for single people who are homeless and have substance use issues. The service has 10 self-contained single occupancy properties in various locations across Calderdale and Kirklees, and a team of staff who provide housing related support. STARS will respond to immediate and medium-term accommodation and support needs, at the point of release from prison or discharge from treatment and residential rehabilitation. We will work in partnership with statutory and voluntary agencies, including criminal justice and drug treatment agencies, to ensure a comprehensive package of support is being offered and we will maintain a flexible referral procedure to ensure that under-served groups gain better access to the service. There is an expectation that people applying for the service are already engaging in treatment or have been sustaining a drug-free lifestyle.

Pennine Housing 2000 is Calderdale’s largest registered social landlord, set up in March 2001 to take over the ownership and management of the council’s rented housing stock following a positive ballot by tenants. Pennine runs the Keychoice Lettings scheme which helps applicants find and apply for a property to rent in Calderdale. They advertise homes in a variety of ways every week which scheme members can make ‘bids’ for. When you place a bid you are not bidding with money, you are expressing an interest in a particular property that suits your needs.
