Emergency support available for homeless people in cold weather

Camden Council has activated its Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) arrangements with temperatures set to drop below freezing overnight for the remainder of the week.

This means that anyone who is sleeping on the streets will be offered temporary accommodation to ensure they have somewhere warm and safe to stay.

Councillor Pat Callaghan, Cabinet Member for Safer Communities

We will bring people sleeping rough in Camden out of the cold and give them somewhere safe and warm to stay.

Residents can play a crucial role here by letting us know if they see someone who is still sleeping rough. To do so, please call our 24/7 number 020 7846 3535 or notify us via the app. Please do share the exact location of the person rough sleeping, so our outreach team knows exactly where to find them.
