WP3482 - New Beginnings - Specialist Housing Related Support for rough sleepers and those who are sex workers or at risk of sexual exploitation 2019/2020
Descriptions
1.1 The extent of rough sleeping in the UK is underrepresented by data currently available. Rough sleeping experienced by women is almost certainly being undercounted as women's patterns of rough sleeping may mean they are less likely to be recorded in counts and their experiences often include sexual abuse, violence and stigmatisation. Many rough sleepers find it difficult to find stable accommodation and ultimately return to rough sleeping at the point of crisis. 1.2 Sex worker and those that are at risk of sexual exploitation should have access to excellent, reliable and life-changing information and support. They should be treated fairly, positively and respectfully and there should be genuine alternatives to a life of exploitation regardless of where they find themselves.

We want to help 10 relief cases where the service user is suitably housed and 1 vulnerable person through prevention tools over a 12 month period.
