Support for rough sleepers - Streetlink reporting tool
Published 13 November 2026
How StreetLink helps?
StreetLink can be used by anyone in England and Wales to send an alert about someone over 18 who is sleeping rough or preparing to sleep rough.
Please don't make an alert if the person is begging or engaging in anti-social behaviour, unless you believe they are rough sleeping.
When you submit an alert:
- The details go to local outreach teams in the area
- These teams (mostly working at night) try to locate the person, assess their needs, and offer support
- The goal is to help people access the right services and move away from homelessness
StreetLink itself doesn't provide accommodation or go out to search for individuals — it connects members of the public with local outreach teams who can help.
