Dear Reader
In past months, the government has produced a barrage of policy and legal changes on migration. This issue of the newsletter summarises the different proposals, tells you how they stand and gives you links to the wide-ranging reactions to them.
ASAP provide an up-to-date guide to the changes in asylum support and how they seem likely to be carried through, while other guest articles cover asylum hotels, overcrowding and the HMO rules; safe housing for Black and minoritised migrant women; and the Home Office’s suitability criteria for large sites.
We also look at developments on refugee homelessness, asylum support, tackling violence against migrant women and more.
Thanks to all our contributors. If anyone is 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: From the next newsletter, we will be monthly. Please share the newsletter widely and click here to receive it direct to your email inbox. We’re also improving the Housing Rights website — take a look at our new UK-wide pages on the habitual residence test, law on housing eligibility, advising people with social care needs and more.
