THE ASYLUM SEEKER HOUSING PROJECT
Community InfoSource has developed the Asylum Seeker Housing Project to help asylum seekers in Scotland report housing repairs and issues. We also help follow up with them when repairs are not completed, or have not been done properly.
The Asylum Seeker Housing Project was set up to make a real difference to the housing situation of people supported by the Home Office accommodation and support contract in Scotland and to carry out housing research on these issues. Alongside the ASH Project, Women Asylum Seeker Housing Project was also developed.
Together they are called W-ASH.

Preventing Asylum Seeker Evictions
|
BBC Reporting Scotland, 30th July 2018
|
Asylum Seeker Housing Project has developed Preventing Asylum Seeker Evictions (PASE), to support individuals who are currently at threat of eviction. This was in response to Serco changing the locks of Asylum Seekers in July of 2018, as a form of forced eviction. Over 300 Asylum Seekers are at immediate threat. |
If you or someone you know is a threat of eviction, contact us.
