Intervention

Street Impact Bristol are supporting 125 specific people rough sleeping in Bristol, aiming to support them off the streets, through providing accommodation and vital support services tailored to each individual’s needs. This is targeted to individuals who are selected by Bristol City Council and are, by definition, diffcult to help with complex needs. The work also involves getting to know clients and creating individual “theories for change” based on the targets they discuss with clients. The Street Impact Bristol team is able to spend as much time as is needed with individuals, because the contract pays based on outcomes. This means they can link up services in a way that all too often, doesn’t happen.

Target population

Individuals selected by Bristol City Council who are over 21 years old, with a history of rough sleeping or long term engagement with homelessness services and are, by definition, difficult to help with complex needs (including substance misuse, a history of offending or street-based anti-social behaviour, mental health problems or long- term physical health conditions.) They have 'recourse to public funds' and are not currently being adequately or effectively supported through existing services.
