Refugee Resettlement Service

Commissioning a service to prevent homelessness among single adult refugees in Hackney. We have forecasted that 100-200 households will present as homeless in the next 6-12 months due to changes in Home Office asylum policy. Without action we expect this to result in rough sleeping and increased strain on the mainstream Benefits and Housing Needs services. The service is required to work proactively and preventatively with people when they receive notice to vacate accommodation provided by the Home Office to find sustainable onward accommodation, which may be anywhere in London
