New joint Briefing: Vital Solutions to ending migrant homelessness

We support the newly released briefing written by Homeless Link and NACCOM, which explores the key drivers of and potential solutions to, homelessness amongst migrants.

Read the briefing here.

The briefing outlines the key drivers of migrant homelessness and what policies the new Government should implement to create a society with a home for everyone. It is supported by over 70 organisations working in the fields of homelessness, housing, and migrants’ rights.

Some of the key  solutions to preventing migrant homelessness are:
​
1. Recognising and addressing the impact that restrictions on public funds have on homelessness. 
2. Stopping the flow of homelessness from the asylum system.  
3. Expanding access to quality free immigration and welfare advice.  
4. Taking a cross-departmental approach to tackling all forms of rough sleeping and homelessness.
5. Repealing the Illegal Migration Act 2023 at the earliest possible opportunity
