Refugees and people seeking asylum
Stable, welcoming accommodation and practical help for people rebuilding their lives in the UK.
Who we can help
- Refugees who have been granted permission to stay and need to move on from Home Office accommodation
- People resettled in the UK who are referred by a local authority resettlement team
- People seeking asylum, where we can provide accommodation in partnership with the agencies responsible for their support
Who we can house depends on a person’s immigration status and how their accommodation is funded. Get in touch and we will explain the options clearly.
