NACCOM Hosting Workshop: How to offer hospitality to the strangers within our gates

26 Jun 2010 - 10:00am - 1:00pm
Housing Justice

 

 

Are you willing to join the growing network of hosts and projects offering accommodation in their own homes to people with no recourse to public funds?

Housing Justice is involved in NACCOM (No Accommodation Network), and co-sponsors this workshop for people interested in finding out about offering hospitality in their own homes to people with no recourse to public funds.

Members of No Accommodation network in London and across the UK are already responding to the needs of refused asylum seekers and forced migrants. They lobby for changes to asylum policy, campaign for a route into citizenship and arrange practical assistance for people faced with homelessness and destitution.

Are you willing to join the growing network of hosts and projects offering accommodation in their own homes to people with no recourse to public funds?

The workshop will cover:

 Who needs hosting?
 What is involved in hosting?
 What support is available to potential hosts?
 What help is available to people refused protection?
 How to develop a hosting project?
 Can I help if I can’t host?
