Member price**: £20.00 Non-member price: £25.00
Many housing organisations provide accommodation to new migrant groups - asylum seekers, accepted refugees and other newcomers. All of these people need housing and many need wider support - at least for a transitional period.
This is the first comprehensive guide from a housing perspective. It emphasises the need for partnership approaches - especially with refugee organisations. It also points out how important it is to have a strategic approach and a mechanism to establish what needs exist and whether there are services to meet them. The guide has dozens of practical examples, step-by-step checklists, and advice on training, legal issues and funding. It is an ideal source book for those wanting to develop services for new migrant groups - as well as being a reference for those who already work in this area.
