Housing Guide

This Housing Guide has been created with input from people lived experience of the asylum system, as well as incorporating our own learning this year through the Refugee Homelessness Prevention Project.

We hope it will be useful for people who have recently been granted refugee status and for those supporting people to find housing. You can download the Housing Guide PDF below.

We are working on getting this guide translated into more languages, so do check back later if the language you need isn't currently available.

"Find a job first, if you are able."

"Think about the cost of living, the cost of a house rent."

"Apply for housing at the place where you got your status."

The quotes above are from people previously supported by Boaz, who contributed to the development of this Housing Guide through participation in focus groups.
