This website gives guidance to help reconnect homeless people to the accommodation and support they need in their home area of the UK. By giving practical information, it aims to help reduce the toll that rough sleeping takes on people’s lives.
Many homeless people end up sleeping rough in an area away from where they have had accommodation, support networks or some other connection. Reconnecting people back to their home area - where it is safe to do so - can give them the best chance of moving away from a street lifestyle to a more settled life.
Read the guidelines on this site to help clients in a planned way to return successfully to accommodation or support services in an area where they have well established links:
- Who should be reconnected
- How to assess and reconnect clients
- Receiving a reconnection referral
- Helping people sustain their lives away from rough sleeping
And find out more about from these stories of people being successfully reconnected.

The site has been developed by Homeless Link as part of the No Second Night Out Pilot which is tackling rough sleeping in London.
