Croydon has activated the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP), a crucial initiative to provide rough sleepers with safe accommodation in response to dangerous winter conditions.
The council's outreach team is vital for engaging with rough sleepers. They keep track of individuals through a database and ensure they receive appropriate housing support.
SWEP not only offers emergency shelter but also integrates various services like Housing First and a 28-day assessment hub, showing a comprehensive approach to tackle homelessness.
The public can aid in the effort against rough sleeping by reporting concerns through the StreetLink app, helping ensure quick action and support for those in need.
