More support for rough sleepers in Stratford District A new intensive support service to help rough sleepers has been commissioned by Stratford District Council. The Housing Pathway service, run by Spring Housing Association, will provide help to rough sleepers in emergency housing, by building trust and getting to understand how the individuals ended up on the streets. It will examine barriers to obtaining more settled housing and signpost people to services supporting mental and physical wellbeing, should they be required. The service will also work with former rough sleepers who have been rehoused into their own tenancies, providing intensive support to sustain these tenancies in order to avoid a return to the streets.
