The project will test offering time-limited accommodation to enable non-UK nationals to engage with legal advice in order to resolve the immigration status. The maximum period for which accommodation will be offered will be 20 weeks for people sleeping rough who have limited recourse to public funds due to their immigration status.

How we are doing it

We will implement this approach in four local authority areas, working with up to 200 people over the course of the project. The evaluation will use a theory-based approach called contribution tracing which combines qualitative and quantitative data. We expect to have interim findings from autumn 2025.
