Rough sleeping

 

Rough sleeping is when you or someone you know is sleeping outside or is sleeping in a place not designed for habitation, such as a car, a shed, or an empty building.

How to help

If you’re concerned about someone sleeping rough, visit thestreetlink.org.uk to get them help.

StreetLink is the nationally recognised way of alerting support agencies to someone who may be sleeping rough. The website can be used by anyone to log details of where someone is seen sleeping rough.

Alerts in the Wolverhampton area are passed on to the council’s commissioned outreach service who will visit the location and offer assistance to anyone seen.
