Hub Homeless Resolution Service
The Hub provides housing and welfare advice to resolve or prevent homelessness for anyone who is rough sleeping or at risk of rough sleeping. Each individual will be assessed and their needs identified to find suitable accommodation solutions, which may include advice and support to prevent homelessness, reconnection to former accommodation within and outside the UK where there is accommodation available to them, support to access new accommodation and a range of other solutions.
We ensure that anyone who is new to rough sleeping will have somewhere to sleep tonight and is offered a long term solution to their homelessness or housing problem.
Street Outreach service – 6am-9pm 7 days a week
Our Street Outreach service provides assertive outreach support to prevent and eradicate rough sleeping and street drinking. The team responds to reports received through the No Second Night Out campaign in Liverpool, delivering intensive one-to-one support to help people come indoors, make positive changes in their lives and find a route out of their situation.
Teams will support both rough sleepers and street drinkers.
Hospital Outreach – 10am-6pm 7 days a week
Based at The Royal Hospital this service is to prevent discharge back to homelessness for rough sleeping clients. We contact patients, undertake assessments of need, offer housing advice and support, and find and access appropriate housing. Our Hospital Outreach workers will ensure patients are linked into primary care services helping ensure appropriate follow up care in order to reduce future hospital admissions.
