If you have recently been granted refugee status, the Home Office (NASS) support you may have been receiving will generally end within 28 days. As soon as you are notified of your refugee status you should act quickly to ensure that you access any required mainstream support through the Department of Work and Pensions, Local Authorities, etc.
If you live in London, the Refugee Council runs an advice service for newly recognised refugees who are homeless or at risk of destitution.
