Our borough wide campaign to tackle the growing homelessness crisis, made up of made up of Alya, Heather and Jason, take to the streets every night to deliver valuable help to those sleeping rough. The initiative is commissioned as an outreach service that brings the team into direct contact with rough sleepers. The RSI team will provide practical housing related support, to help service users to access mainstream homeless accommodation services and/or secure permanent accommodation.
The team are incredibly passionate about stepping up in an effort to end homelessness, aiming to break down barriers that prevent people accessing services that can help them while creating a safer environment for the wider community.
You can help if are aware of someone sleeping rough or you see an individual that you believe to be homeless Please contact us and a member of our team will follow up. We just need to know the location of the individual – which you can even tell us anonymously should you wish. Contacting us is easy and takes just a few seconds
