This guide explains the general help and housing support you are entitled to if you are either a person seeking asylum, a refugee, or an appealing or unsuccessful person seeking asylum.
Shelter have published a new, easy to use guide on accessing accommodation and housing support for persons seeking asylum and refugees in England and Wales. The handy guide is targeted at persons seeking asylum and refugees who want to know more about what housing support they are entitled to. It provides straightforward answers to questions such as how to apply for housing support, what support is available if an asylum application has been unsuccessful and other common problems.
Contents include:
* What support am I entitled to?
* How do I apply for support?
* Questions about NASS support
* Details of useful organisations
Please note that due to differences in housing laws between UK nations, the guide applies to England and Wales only.
The standard price for the guide is 55 pence per copy, with a discount available for orders over 25. It is available via the Shelter bookshop located on the Shelter website - http://england.shelter.org.uk/shop/publications/housing_advice/asylum_seekers_and_refugees
