We appreciate your patience and understanding.
An Assertive Outreach team based in Gloucestershire are out on the streets on a regular basis ensuring anyone who has been forced to sleep rough, or is leading a street based lifestyle, understands the options available to come in.
If you are currently sleeping rough, you can make an alert with StreetLink. Your alert will be passed on to your local outreach team who will try to find you at the location you give us.
Once an alert is submitted via StreetLink, the details are automatically sent to the relevant local outreach teams. These teams then try to locate the individual, assess their needs, and offer appropriate support services with the aim of ending their homelessness.
StreetLink itself does not provide direct accommodation or actively search for individuals sleeping rough. Instead, it acts as the link between members of the public and local outreach services to provide assistance for those in need of support.
Route In: Please report anyone seen sleeping rough via Streetlink

'Julian House' will begin delivery of a new outreach service from April 2025, supporting people forced to sleep rough across Gloucestershire to navigate their way back to security and independence.
The OPCC contributes over £34,000 per year towards this service commissioned by Gloucester City Council on behalf of Gloucestershire Housing Partnership. The contract will run untill March 31st 2028.
'Julian House' will provide tailored support for rough sleepers across the county – with different approaches for rough sleepers in urban and rural areas.
In urban Gloucester and Cheltenham, the team will provide daily outreach walks to connect with people sleeping on the cities’ streets and help them access expert support and local off-the-streets accommodation.
In rural areas, the team will work with local partners and the general public to identify rough sleepers in hard-to-reach or isolated locations and bring support to them.
Rough sleeping can be less visible in rural areas, but that doesn’t make it any less dangerous for the people experiencing it. Our team will strive to reach those people who have been lost to public view or are unable to access vital support services that are far from their location.
In all cases, the goal will be to reduce rough sleeping in the county and help more people to access the support and accommodation they need to get their lives back on track.
Julian House is a charity that helps people in crisis find a route to something better.
