To end rough sleeping, solutions need to address both accommodation and support needs and requires many public bodies – including, councils, the Police, health bodies, housing associations, and others – to change how they work and what they do to tackle rough sleeping.
We believe that the key to tackling this problem is for public bodies to deliver a single public service response targeted at people sleeping rough. To support this, we have included in our report a self-reflection tool for public bodies to use to improve how they can jointly address complex needs in the future.
