A Bed Every Night
Rough sleeping is the most visible form of homelessness, in Greater Manchester we have adopted the goal to end the need for anyone to sleep on the streets by May 2020.
There is a lot of work underway at all times of year by local authorities and the voluntary sector to prevent and reduce homelessness. This year we want to build on that, so our goal is to provide a place for every person sleeping rough every night right through the coming winter, from 1 November to 31 March.
