Refugee housing support
If you are someone who has received a positive decision on your asylum claim and have received notice to leave your accommodation as a result please make an appointment to see a Housing Solutions Officer as soon as possible. We can help you find accommodation and if you have children or are vulnerable due to health problems we will be able to accommodate you on a temporary basis until we find you more secure accommodation.
You can apply to any local authority in the country, however you will need to have a local connection to the area for assistance beyond trying to prevent your homelessness. A local connection is established by having been provided with accommodation as an asylum seeker in that area, have close family ties or you have employment, education or training in the local authority area.
