Routes off the Streets

Description

The London Borough of Camden delivers our street population service and response through the Routes off The Street (RTS) service. The primary objective of the RTS service is to ensure that everyone who is rough sleeping in Camden receives a service offer which means they no longer have to sleep rough and are able to start rebuilding their life away from the street. The RTS service delivers a 7-day a week street outreach service and assessment hub based at the RTS Day Centre in Camden Town. RTS work with key partners in a multi-disciplinary way to provide interventions on the street, structured support and make appropriate referrals which diverts individuals away from harm and enables them to access the services they need. The aims of the service are as follows: • Those rough sleeping in the borough receive a RTS offer which means that they no longer have to sleep rough and can rebuild their lives away from the street. • And access specialist services and treatment including substance misuse, mental health support and Adult Social Care. RTS aims to provide holistic support that empowers individuals to transition away from rough sleeping and towards a brighter, more stable future.
