In December 2018, a Liverpool campaign, Always Room Inside, led to the city's first night shelter, Labre House, opening in Camden Street, backed by Joe Anderson, the Labour Mayor of Liverpool. Outreach workers were able to take rough sleepers to the night shelter, and members of the public were encouraged to liaise with the centre's staff to bring people in from the streets, enabling the Whitechapel Centre's homeless provision to become a 24-hour service. Homeless residents were allowed to sleep at the centre until permanent accommodation was found by day centre workers.
