People who sleep rough are more likely to face physical and emotional abuse. Long-term exposure to the elements can lead to severe medical conditions. The hard truth is giving money to rough sleepers can prevent them from engaging with support. This may keep them on the streets for longer.
Being homeless means to have nowhere permanent and safe to call a home. Rough sleeping is a type of homelessness where someone finds themselves sleeping on the street. Local authorities have a duty to advise and assist any resident with a housing problem. If a person is homeless, threatened with homelessness, being harassed or thinks they are being illegally evicted; if they cannot afford housing in a suitable location etc. they can approach the district housing for advice and assistance. The council teams will try to help the customer find a suitable solution. Care and Repair’s aim is to assist people to continue living independently in their own homes and ensure those homes are safe and warm. Care and Repair also runs a Handy Person Scheme to help households occupied solely by elderly and/or vulnerable people living in the Peterborough area. The scheme is free and is available to home owners and tenants who are elderly or considered vulnerable. Residents are only asked to pay for the cost of materials used. As there is no council housing any more in Peterborough, it’s most likely you are renting from another social landlord. My home is rented from Cross Keys Homes
