Supporting people with no recourse to public funds

This guidance aims to provide information to help homelessness services identify which people they support have no recourse and what their options might be, in order to develop a support offer. It outlines the steps services can take to present different options, alleviate destitution or access funds for clients, and includes details of specialist organisations working with NRPF clients.

This guidance primarily focuses on migrants and asylum seekers who are non-EEA nationals. Services working with EEA clients should refer to: www.homeless.org.uk/our-work/resources/working-with-eea-nationals
