<p>Homeless Link, who run StreetLink in partnership with St Mungos Broadway, provide
regular updates on how the service is performing. Homeless Link work with local authorities
and homelessness organisations to continue to improve the take-up of StreetLink nationally
and the help it provides to enable rough sleepers to get back on their feet. Since
it started in December 2012 Streetlink has made just under 23,000 rough sleeping referrals
to councils to investigate, leading to 9,800 rough sleepers being found and connected
with local services of which nearly 1,900 resulted in a specific housing outcome.
The Government have increased spending to prevent and tackle rough sleeping and homelessness
making over £500 million available, giving councils the funding and tools needed to
take action against rough sleeping locally.</p><p> </p>
