Yesterday we took part in a meeting alongside NACCOM and Manchester’s Boaz Trust with civil servants from the Home Office about the problems new refugees face around homelessness. When you get your refugee status you are given 28 days to leave your accommodation and this often results in refugees facing homelessness, sometimes rough sleeping. We all hope this 28 day period can be extended. Makes sense particularly when Universal Credit takes at least 5 weeks to be paid. Particular thanks to our residents Diana and Hamid for sharing their experience, so much more effective to have the voices of refugees at the meeting. … See MoreSee Less

Workshop in Leeds this morning organised by Leeds City Council looking to develop and improve the support for new refugees in the district. When asylum seekers are given refugee status they are given 28 days to leave the accommodation provided by the Home Office, it is often impossible to offer housing in this period for example people on our waiting list often have to wait several months. New refugees face homelessness and single refugees in particular can face rough sleeping and destitution. Over the last year or so a specialist refugee housing officer has been funded and this has certainly helped to make things work more effectively in Leeds. Thanks to Diana who lives in one of our houses who accompanied our housing manager Neal to the workshop, it’s really important and effective to have the voices of refugees heard at events like this. … See MoreSee Less
