Rough Sleeping

Newcastle City Council is taking action to reduce the number of people sleeping rough on the streets or elsewhere. Our key aims are: 

• To ensure that no-one should have to sleep rough in the city 
• To ensure that the response of all agencies is co-ordinated and consistent, so that anyone who is found to be sleeping rough is given the right help to enable them to obtain and sustain appropriate accommodation

If you would like to know more about the action Newcastle City Council and its partners are taking to address rough sleeping or would like to report concerns about people sleeping rough in your area then please contact:

John Davison, Lead Practitioner for Rough Sleeping

E-mail: john.davison@newcastle.gov.uk or Phone: 0191 277 1702
