As such, the project aims to support local authorities to deliver a range of immediate, short-term emergency or off-the-street \(OTS\) accommodation options that can be used to help those presenting as rough sleeping without local connection\. They will benefit from access to wrap around support to explore a reconnection back to their original area of residence and source long-term accommodation to end their rough sleeping and/or homelessness\. The project also aims to help support those eligible with local accommodation options where a reconnection is not attainable\. Full details are included in the document set\.
