New actions will be put in place to further tackle rough sleeping this Winter, as recommended by the Scottish Government’s Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Action Group.
Backed by an initial £328,000 worth of investment from government and group members, the measures include increasing emergency accommodation in areas with the greatest numbers of rough sleepers, making personal budgets available to front line workers to meet immediate housing needs, and supporting greater use of the emergency Nightstop service.
