Room for Refugees

Room For Refugees is a community hosting network that offers safe, temporary homes and pastoral support for insecurely housed refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable groups. Founded by Positive Action in Housing, we are challenging the “hostile environment” with a human response that is reaping life-transforming results for everyone who takes part.

As a “refugee host”, you decide how long you can offer a spare room or property. We screen all referrals to ensure a safe match, and our team are there to support you and your guest throughout the placement.

If you are working with people from refugee and migrant communities at risk of destitution, you can apply for crisis support for your clients, and for free hosting from Room for Refugees.
