Support for rough sleepers continuing in York during pandemic
The council are urging anyone worried about losing their home to contact them.
There's a reminder that support for rough sleepers is continuing in York, despite the pandemic.
City of York Council says anyone at risk of sleeping rough will continues to be offered accommodation during lockdown - with covid safe measures in place.
They're urging anyone worried about losing their home to contact them.
Cllr Denise Craghill, Executive Member for Housing and Safer Communities, said: “We’ve been working hard to ensure everyone is in. Our official rough sleeper count is three. No one needs to sleep out we have the beds and tailored support to help people into safer, more secure lives.
“If you see someone sleeping outside, the chances are we already know about them and are working with them. So please encourage them to go to the Lawrence St early help team. Or, call Streetlink on 0300 5000 914 who will alert our local teams to go to them to offer a bed and support.”
