On Thursday @ukhomeoffice told @MayorofLondon’s Migrants and Refugees Advisory Panel that the new Rough Sleeping Support Service has been created to ‘help’ migrant rough sleepers and is ‘not a hostile environment measure’. These claims are at odds with FOI data we've seen: 
Everything we've seen about the RSSS so far supports the claims made in @TownsendMark's article in @ObserverUK - that the 'service' is in fact a new attempt to 'turn charity workers into border guards'.

We hope the migrant and homelessness sectors will join us, @libertyhq @migrants_rights and @streetskitchen in keeping the Home Office and their partners @StMungos @ThamesReach @MayorofLondon honest when it comes to rough sleeper rights #hostileenvironment

We also hope to work in solidarity with the Unite housing workers trade union branch @UniteHousing to ensure that frontline workers are not pressurise by ‘charity’ management to act as border guards.
