SOT will engage and assess anyone regularly sleeping rough in Cambridge.

There was a change to the way rough sleepers are counted due to issues with duplication in previous years, which resulted in a lower figure for 2014-15 than previous years. Figure for 2016-17 was amended March 2018 as an error was found in the previously reported figure.
