Successful bid for funding by Haringey Council to tackle rough sleeping in the borough

News from the Ladder Community Safety Partnership that LBH has successfully bid for almost £800,000 of additional funding from central government to tackle the rough sleeping problem in the borough.  

New initiatives include an eight-space ‘Rough Sleeping Crash Pad’ in Tottenham (which will provide immediate emergency accommodation for people directly from the streets); a Hidden Homeless Outreach Worker (to help those who are at risk of rough sleeping via sofa-surfing etc.) and two new Outreach Housing Needs Officers (one of whom will focus on those vulnerable via substance misuse, and the other on ensuring that nobody is released from prison straight onto the streets).
