Immediate help routes for people sleeping rough or at risk of sleeping on the street, with nation-specific signposting.

If someone is in immediate danger, seriously unwell or at risk of serious harm, call 999.

StreetLink can be used to connect people sleeping rough with local outreach services in England and Wales. It is not an emergency service.

Contact the local authority homelessness service. Scottish councils have legal duties to help people who are homeless.

Contact the Northern Ireland Housing Executive for homelessness help and current emergency/out-of-hours arrangements.
