Support vulnerable migrants during the Covid-19 crisis
Immediate action is required by the government and local authorities to safeguard and protect the health and wellbeing of all migrants, particularly those with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) and those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
We are asking councils to ensure that ALL migrants in their area can access the care, support and shelter they need during this crisis, regardless of immigration status and without fear of the consequences. And that means they should also be advocating to central government to end all ‘hostile environment’ policies and suspend immigration-based eligibility criteria for housing assistance and welfare benefits.
