No Second Night Out

Broadway also hosts the No Second Night Out (NSNO) project in London and Oxford.

NSNO is a daring new programme that seeks to introduce a step change in the way we respond to those who arrive new to rough sleeping on the streets.

We will provide:

• A rapid response to new and returning rough sleepers throughout the week
• A Single Service Offer of suitable accommodation and support for new and returning rough sleepers. This will be based on individual assessments and means that no one needs to spend a second night on the street.
• A focus on linking people who migrate into the City of Oxford back to accommodation and services where they have a local connection and where they are most likely to sustain a life away from the street.

This will be achieved by:

• A highly assertive outreach approach; facilitated by extended outreach coverage and backed up with enforcement actions by outreach workers and other services.
• Establishing a hotline to act as a single point of contact for alerting NSNO Oxford and Oxford City Outreach about rough sleepers.
• Setting up an assessment unit, where new and returning rough sleepers can receive rapid assessment of their needs and be made a Single Service Offer.
• Including reconnection in the Single Service Offer made to rough sleepers.
• Prioritising rough sleepers for accommodation/support within the Homeless Network in Oxford.
• Effective verification procedures for rough sleepers.
• More effective data recording and monitoring.
• Involving the public more fully in alerting us to rough sleeping.
• Encouraging public involvement with rough sleeping services.
