Tenant's Extra Support Scheme (TESS) began in 1998 as a pilot scheme covering North Huyton and Stockbridge Village.

The project was a response to research carried out in the area which had identified people who were vulnerable in the community and trying to cope without appropriate support and a lack of understanding how to access support.

This was having a massive impact on their ability to live independently or to manage their tenancies.
The original aims of TESS were:

To prevent tenancy breakdown by providing and
procuring support to people currently living within the Stockbridge and Huyton locality

To provide assistance in supporting vulnerable people managing new tenancies

To enable tenants to access relevant support services
