Local Resources

• North East AID - this North East Accommodation & Information Database has been developed by Shelter, Centrepoint and HANE. It is a directory of the North East's accommodation and support services for homeless and badly housed people. The database is currently available to purchase for £10 (see order form) but the long term aim is to have it available for everyone on a website.
