Welcome to the CESSA Housing Association

CESSA Housing Association has 206 flats in the Portsmouth/Gosport area for letting on assured tenancies to former military personnel and their spouses, partners, widows or widowers who are over 60 years of age. Parents and children of service personnel of the same age are also accepted, as are former Reserve Forces and MOD civilian employees. Its sister charity CESSAC manages a further 89 flats owned by Greenwich Hospital, a Crown charitable foundation and located in Southsea (36), Saltash (32) and Greenwich (21) for occupation by ex RN, RM and WRNS personnel and their spouses, partners, widows or widowers.

Locations:

• Allenby Court, Kingston Road, Portsmouth
• CESSAC House, The Redan, Fort Road, Gosport
• Dhekelia Court, Foster Road, Portsmouth
• Glamis Court, Vicarage Lane, Stubbington
• St George’s Court, Hambrook Street, Southsea
• Trafalgar Court, Richmond Road, Southsea
  

Rents are in the range of £260 - £420 per calendar month which includes a service charge comprising heating, hot water, Scheme Manager support (not Allenby Court), care alarm system and concessionary TV licences, but not water and sewage rates nor Council Tax. There are some variations to this.

Flats are allocated on the basis of need. Each flat has its own front door, living room, kitchen and toilet. Some are studio apartments but many have a separate bedroom. 

Tenants need to be able to look after themselves but with assistance from relatives or social services. The Scheme Manager or in his/her absence the care alarm system, provides an emergency response and the Scheme Manager can provide emergency first aid but not nursing or other personal care. Cleaning of communal areas is provided as well as gardening and maintenance. Much of the minor routine maintenance work is carried out by our two full time staff and more major work by local tradesmen. Smoking is not permitted in any Communal areas.
