There are a number of first line response services already in Ipswich for single adults who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, as set out in this "Reaching Out" leaflet:

These front line services work with a wide range of other partners, such as specialists in health and wellbeing, money advice and recovery services for example.

In addition to these services at present there are a number of direct access beds, for emergency accommodation in Ipswich as well as hostel spaces. We also have an Assertive Street Outreach Coordinator based at The Chapman Centre who works directly with people who are rough sleeping to ensure that no one new to rough sleeping spends a Second Night Out on the streets of Ipswich.
