StreetLink

Anyone can become homeless, and sleeping rough can damage your health and be dangerous.

StreetLink is a new service that enables the public to alert local authorities in England about rough sleepers in their area. It is the first step you can take to ensure rough sleepers are connected to the local services and support available to them.

The longer someone sleeps rough, the greater the risk that they will become trapped on the streets and vulnerable to becoming a victim of crime, developing drug or alcohol problems, or experiencing problems with their health.

Rough sleepers may not be known to local services because they remain out of sight, bedding down at different times of day or night, and moving from place to place. And not all rough sleepers are aware that advice and support is available to them.

By using this app to alert us about a rough sleeper you’ll help to connect that person to the local services available.
