Night shelter

Following the post below about homelessness, last night I visited a temporary night shelter being run by volunteers and a church organisation for rough sleepers in the city. The numbers they are dealing with confirm that very few people sleep rough in Dundee; but at the same time a small number of people do sleep rough, for a whole variety of reasons. I hope the project will show whether there are other things the Council should be doing to help this very small number of rough sleepers find their way to the various hostels and other accommodation which exists in the city. When the project reports back, I'll write more on this subject.
