Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal
The Issue: (1-2 sentences summarizing the problem.)
people not getting verified for rough sleeping
The Scenario: (Describe a scene or moment you imagine for the play.)
people not getting verified for rough sleeping
Legislative Change: (How could this inspire or inform policy?)
Long term: Develop an app or other accessible technology allowing for direct communication between people experiencing homelessness and Council Rough Sleeping / support teams. Short term: Develop more robust communication channels and locations where people who are rough sleeping can access information and advice, contact the council, and get help with verification. Libraries should have trained and dedicated staff who are available 9am-5pm for homelessness and rough sleeping support 2. Open a 24hr walk-in centre for peer support, hot drinks, and access to communication with rough sleeping team 3. Two or more charities or other services should be authorised to verify that someone is rough sleeping, in place of the council. This may include NHS services, Riverside, Pathways, etc. 4. Grow the Medway interagency partnership model (Inspire) to be available for everyone, not only those identified as ‘high-risk’ 5. Launch a far-reaching media campaign across Medway about how to access information for people experiencing homelessness: eye-catching ads on bus stops, etc.
