Hamida, one of our former guests, is among those sharing their experience in @standardnews about being asked to leave Home Office accommodation, and how the 28 day ‘move-on period’ puts many at risk of ending up on the streets.

Every single person crossing the Channel to seek safety is an individual with hopes and dreams, just like every one of us.
On this day two years ago, 31 of those dreams were tragically cut short in the deadliest Channel disaster in 30 years.

Lack of access to legal aid and a punitive asylum system continues to push refugees into homelessness, @NACCOMnetwork has said. 💬
The number of refugees turned away from accommodation increased by 83% in a year due to a lack of capacity. ⬇️

Pushing for positive change is hard. But we keep going - that is what matters.
There are hundreds of thousands of people across the UK working to build a fair kind plan for refugees, we each believe in all that people-power makes possible.
We are the many. Love will win.

Is it that radical?
A record number of people have died in the channel this year. But they are not just numbers, they are people who are fleeing war and persecution.
They are mothers, fathers, siblings and children.
ALT Big bold writing says 'what if we talked about safety for people fleeing war?". The word safety is highlighted.

It was great to join @MayorofLondon @rushanaraali @tomcopley and many friends and colleagues yesterday to discuss the development of the Mayor’s new Plan of Action to end rough sleeping.
At @NACCOMnetwork we want to ensure that ending migrant homelessness is part of that plan.
After years of underinvestment from the previous government, rough sleeping will get worse before it gets better.
I’m working with Ministers, boroughs & homelessness experts, including those who’ve slept rough, on our plan to get people off the streets & rebuilding their lives

📢 Thousands of people in Scotland are being forced into extreme poverty and homelessness by UK immigration policies.
Study by @HeriotWattUni, funded by JRF, has found that immigration policies are "virtually guaranteeing" destitution and homelessness. 1/3

Great to get a chance to talk to @ShabanaMahmood when she visted @JerichoOrg about the work Hope Projects does fighting asylum destitution. We also mentioned the fantastic national work of @NACCOMnetwork

With 50+ organisations and 85 individuals, we've written to @YvetteCooperMP to demand an immediate halt of the reopening of Haslar & Campsfield detention centres!
Detention destroys lives—it's time for change. Support community alternatives that uphold dignity! 🧵

Everyone needs a safe home.

I cannot speak highly enough of the bravery, determination, pragmatism and solidarity being shown across the @NACCOMnetwork right now. Standing up for what is right: that no one should be unsafe or homeless or destitute. Doing it the face of racist violence and intimidation.
