A private rental is the only option for many single refugees who are not viewed as priorities for housing by local authorities. But finding a deposit and rent in advance for landlords is beyond the reach of most.
Many face homelessness and destitution. We act to prevent this.
Our Private Rented Scheme (PRS) in London helps newly recognised refugees who have become homeless as a direct result of being granted protection in the UK.
We offer advice and assistance with finding accommodation, accessing housing benefit and applying for loans or grants to help with rent deposits.
For refugees that cannot afford to pay a deposit, we can offer landlords a deposit bond on their behalf.
