The Housing and Migration Network has launched a destitution pack highlighting how housing associations and charities can work together to provide short-term housing and support for destitute asylum seekers and other migrants in the UK.

The destitution pack has been developed to help, in particular, destitute asylum seekers who have no access to public funds but who have some prospect of regularising their status. The pack is based on a Hope Housing model developed by Hope Projects in Birmingham.

An article announcing the launch appears on the Guardian Housing Network website today and you can read more about the pack on the website of the Metropolitan Migration Foundation.
