Rough Sleeper Service
Outreach
Our outreach team works seven days a week to identify and engage with rough sleepers. Our goal is to assist them to seeking and securing accommodation.
Referrals
Light for Life's Rough Sleeper Provision offers a range of services for individuals who are experiencing rough sleeping in the Borough of Sefton. Referrals can be made to the service via the Mainstay gateway system and also via Street Link.
Emergency Accommodation
The Outreach Team works across Sefton to identify rough sleepers and will make arrangements, where possible to access emergency accommodation. The service provides food, clothing and access to showers and clothes washing facilities. Referrals to clinical services will also be made where appropriate.
Sefton’s emergency accommodation spaces are located in Bootle and Southport. These will be secured on a priority basis. Individuals must agree to engage with the Rough Sleeper Service to develop a person-centred support plan, addressing the circumstances which have led to rough-sleeping and to find appropriate pathways to independence. Opportunities to explore accommodation in the private sector will be offered, along with further support.
