Refugees At Home ๐Ÿ”—

Refugees at Home matches people who have a spare room with refugees and asylum seekers in need of temporary accommodation.

People who have refugee status and a good standard of English can refer themselves for accommodation.ย  We also offer the self-referral process for those arriving through the Homes for Ukraine scheme.

They will need to provide details of two people who can vouch for them. These need to be people who we have known the prospective guest while they have been in the UK and who know the guest well enough to be able to answer questions about who they are and what their plans are. Hosts may ask to speak to them.

(C๏ปฟYF will vouch for CYF trainees and grads. Email us about this.)

T๏ปฟhis service is for:

  1. People who have been granted refugee status and get a 28 day move on order.
  2. A๏ปฟsylum seekers waiting for NASS housing.
  3. R๏ปฟefused and destitute asylum seekers.

Streetlink UK ๐Ÿ”—

Connecting people sleeping rough to local services

StreetLink is a website, mobile app and phone service for England and Wales, which enables people to send an alert when they see someone sleeping rough to connect that person to local support services that can help to end their homelessness.

StreetLink itself is not an outreach service or an accommodation provider, nor is it an emergency service. It is the link between someone sleeping rough and the independent local services available. Self referrals are accepted.

StreetLink is not an emergency service. If you think someone needs urgent medical attention, please call 999.
