Use this online form to apply to be a referrer to the Room for Refugees scheme.  If you have ever referred to this scheme before, you do not need to complete this form; instead please contact home@paih.org 

Room for Refugees is primarily aimed at refugees and those seeking refuge in the UK who have no recourse to funds or support and are at risk of destitution. We can help men, women, families who you consider to be suitable for hosting in someone's home.

We can potentially turn a situation of hopelessness around by providing a safe place to stay so that caseworkers can assist their clients to resolve the root problem of their destitution.

 This significant humanitarian resource can potentially make a life-changing difference for:  

- those affected by the Syrian refugee crisis
- unaccompanied child refugees in the UK and Europe, including those within care  
- refugees and those seeking asylum who are already in the UK and at risk of destitution   
- the long term destitute refugees who may have given up hope, and whom society has forgotten

It's important that caseworkers do understand that you are responsible for supporting your client. In particular, you would be accompanying your client to the host's home, and helping them to move their case forward while they take respite in someone's home.

*As of Sept 2016, the scheme has over 3,700 refugee hosts across the UK. We are also planning to develop the scheme in the USA.
