Dear Reader
We want to bring you punchier articles and more up-to-date news. That’s why your Housing Rights newsletter is moving to 10 issues each year. Our coverage will remain dominated by government policy changes and how the sector is responding to them.
This month we have two guest articles. Chaminda Jayanetti writes about the latest statistics on refugee homelessness, and Jasmyn Dixon has an overview of the work of the Refugee and Migrant Centre across the West Midlands.
We have a special article on responding to the local elections and Reform’s ascendancy to councils across England. We also look at the latest developments on refugee homelessness, asylum support, tackling violence against migrant women, and more.
A big thanks to all our contributors. If you are interested in writing for future issues, please email john.perry@cih.org. And, as ever, a special thanks to our main sponsor, Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing.
PS: We’re improving the website. Do explore our new UK-wide pages on advising British family members (including details on ‘Zambrano carers’ and for family members of British citizens who were living in the EU), legal differences between councils and housing associations in housing migrants, the habitual residence test and more.
