Support for rough sleepers

Support if you're homeless or at risk of being homeless

Our homelessness service works with StreetLink to help rough sleepers.

What you need to tell StreetLink

1. If you are a rough sleeper, the precise location where you will be rough sleeping tonight.  This is so that the outreach support team can find you.
2. If you are reporting someone; the precise location where you saw someone rough sleeping.
3. When the person was seen sleeping rough at the location.
4. Descriptive information about the person that will help them get found (gender, approximate age, what the person looks like, what they are wearing).

What happens after you report a rough sleeper
