This was to bolster front line provision to prevent homelessness, rough sleeping and to support the national roll out of the ‘No Second Night Out’ (NSNO) initiative, and was funded by a grant from the Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG). Outreach includes having regular contact with rough sleepers and those at threat of rough sleeping, assessing and determining individual needs, and delivering a person-centred plan that enables the individual to make a sustainable move away from the streets.
