Room for refugees and the Emergency Relief fund is a crisis intervention programme designed by the charity Positive Action in Housing (SC027577) to help people in need from refugee and migrant communities to rebuild their lives.
It is a last resort programme for paid caseworkers from non profit organisations to help refugees and asylum seekers without recourse to public fund or personal support.
The programme targets people who are being prevented from rebuilding their lives or achieving legal resolution, because of enforced destitution, being forbidden to work.
We want to reach the most vulnerable on your caseload, those who can most benefit in the medium to long term from our intervention.
We can help men, women, children, families whom you consider to be suitable for hosting in someone's home or property, or deserving of a crisis grant in order rebuild their lives.
The programme offers a safe place to stay so that you the caseworker can assist your client 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 systems
- families, pregnant women, the sick
- refugees and those seeking asylum who are already in the UK and at risk of destitution
- the long term destitute refugees and asylum seekers who may have given up hope,
Hosting: It's important that caseworkers do understand that you are responsible for supporting your client and staying involved in the programme for the duration of your client's stay with our hosts. 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 October 2017, we have over 6,700 hosts across Scotland and the rest of the UK. We have 2,000 hosts in the USA and are planning development there, starting with New York.
