Prisk Backs New Rough Sleeping Helpline

Anyone looking to help rough sleepers this winter should contact a new service to get them long-term support advises Housing Minister Mark Prisk. The minister was speaking at the launch of StreetLink, a new national hotline and website service that connects rough sleepers with the local help and advice they need to get off the streets and get their lives back on track.  Mr Prisk said that StreetLink offers concerned members of the public a better option than handing out money or food, by directing rough sleepers to the help they need, and providing them with a “hand up, not a hand out”.  Read more on the CLG website.
