Asylum seekers and refugees applying for a home

Non-UK Nationals looking for permanent rehousing from Wheatley Homes East or other social landlords in Wheatley Group, apply for a home in the same way as other customers.

They will be offered Housing Options advice that looks at their needs and the needs of family members. When identified, support can be put in place to help customers keep their tenancy and become a part of our communities.

A support service provided by our sister company, Wheatley Care, provides support to homeless customers, including refugees.

We have a number of forums, including Polish and West African housing forums, which offer customers advice and support with tenancy issues affecting their ethnic group. Our migrant support advisor can help re-house new refugees.

We work with a number of different teams in Wheatley Group and are happy to work with any organisations working with or for Non-UK nationals.

Are you looking for help with finding a home?

We’re here to give you advice so you can make the right choices about your housing. If we don’t have the right home for you then don’t worry. We can point you in the right direction for other options.

You don't need to have a local connection to the area in order to qualify for housing.
