Blackpool Council and its partners have rolled out their Winter Provision programme, enhancing the year-round work taking place, to support those experiencing homelessness during the colder months.
Agencies take part in regular street outreach to identify and offer support to rough sleepers, including offers of accommodation and service-led help.
Assessments are completed by the council’s Housing Options team, to ensure the best support is provided.
To keep people safe during the winter months, as an immediate response, the offer of accommodation will be in either SWEP provision, hostels, emergency bed units or B&Bs.
If you are a member of the public and come across a rough sleeper, you can telephone us direct on 01253 477765, or email us at HSAT@blackpool.gov.uk
