During the periods of severe cold weather, additional emergency accommodation is provided by Walsall Local Authority. This is known as Severe Weather Emergency Provision (SWEP).
Anyone finding themselves homeless and having to rough sleep can access this service when temperatures drop to zero degrees for more than three consecutive nights or more.
You can access this service via contacting the Rough Sleepers Initiative Team on 01922 652250 or email rooflessreferral@walsall.gov.uk.
You can also report any rough sleeping in Walsall Borough you have seen to the Local Authority outreach team via https://thestreetlink.org.uk.
