Refugee homelessness and migrant destitution are rising at an alarming rate, NACCOM's research shows.

A record high of 1,941 refugee adults were homeless in 2023-24 - an increase of *99%* on last year:

Interesting couple of days at a grandly named “restoration of rule of law” project. Some take aways from access to justice sessions:

NEW: Over 200,000 households impacted by No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) are at risk of destitution.

NRPF denies people access to a safety net, even in times of crisis, & disproportionately impacts women.

This report underlines what we already know - NRPF devastates lives and must be scrapped.
*New research out today* on the impact of NRPF on households in London.

Over 100k households subject to NRPF in London are at risk of destitution. Reform badly needed.

Almost 37,000 migrant households in London are living in poverty because they are affected by NRPF - and a further 120,000 are “at risk of destitution”.

Great to see coverage of our new research (out today) into the impacts of no recourse to public funds - www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...
