Streetlink

Streetlink is a vital platform that enables you to submit an alert about someone sleeping rough to outreach teams, so that they can locate and provide them with the support they need. 

This includes anyone who is sleeping outside, preparing to bed down, or sleeping somewhere not designed for habitation, such as a car. 

People sleeping rough can also submit an alert to get help for themselves.

The platform will ask you to:

  1. Locate - send a pin of where you've seen someone sleeping rough
  2. Describe - Give as many details as possible to help services identify them
  3. Submit - Your alert will be triaged and where necessary passed onto local outreach teams who will seek to find and support the person concerned

Visit Streetlink to make an alert.
