Refugee Resettlement Programme

This scheme addresses the problems of homelessness and vulnerability amongst refugees and their families. The service offers affordable rooms and flats for refugees to rent, couples with advice and support to help residents maintain their tenancies. Included within the programme is a ‘Floating Support’ service which offers housing related support to a limited number of local authority and housing association tenants.

Reaching Communities
We also offer capacity building support for those refugee communities that aim to deliver services to their own people, but often find this difficult to achieve. We provide advice on constitutional matters, fundraising, and information on local initiatives.
