Introduction to Service
The Homeless Response Service offers advice and support to people facing or experiencing homelessness. This includes people who are rough sleeping, sofa surfing, living in temporary accommodation, at immediate risk of homelessness, are homeless in hospital or will be homeless after leaving prison. We will help to access temporary and permanent accommodation for people experiencing homelessness, offer longer term support to prevent repeat homelessness and help people access services in their community to keep them safe and well.
The team conduct walkabouts, early morning and occasional late night outreach, with police support if required, to engage those hardest to reach.
