Migrant support

Immigration cases can be difficult to navigate at the best of times. For someone who is homeless they add another layer of complexity to an already challenging situation and can make getting off the streets even harder. Many people need support understanding their situation and what they need to do to address it. Unresolved immigration issues are often a barrier to housing, employment and support and can prolong someone’s homelessness.

At Glass Door in Fulham, a case-worker is able to provide specialist support to people with complex immigration cases. They work one-to-one with clients to understand their immigration status, as well as other issues they may be facing, such as mental health or addiction problems. They can then work with the person to develop a holistic plan for supporting their needs and taking action on their immigration case. Supporting people to resolve their immigration status helps give them greater stability, so they can continue working to end their homelessness.
