We met women who had spent decades in the asylum system waiting for a decision. People with so much to offer, stranded in a place of stagnation. It's important that their stories are heard. @boaztrust @MadeByMortals @CenterCoopMedia @NorthernHeartF

There’s a national housing & homelessness crisis. Evicting refugees from HO accommodation with no support is unsustainable & inhumane. Thanks @ManCityCouncil homelessness team & great #VCSFE groups supporting refugees in city but we need urgent help from govt #fairbeginshere

A very important report from @mentalhealth with calls for systemic action to support mental health of refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK, including creating a trauma-informed asylum system in place of current harmful ‘hostile environment’
Asylum seekers and refugees can face many inequalities in accessing what they need for good mental health. Our new report addresses the mental health of asylum seekers and refugees in the UK and calls for government action to protect their mental health: https://t.co/Kqz78TS9mA

Our team are speaking with people all the time in this situation- newly granted refugees, no priority for any housing locally, left to sleep on the streets. The process needs to change.
NEW: Sadiq Khan calls for an immediate end to asylum seeker evictions from Home Office accommodation @SadiqKhan tells @BigIssue a winter pause will avoid rough sleepers dying, and that govt needs to go further than current 3-day SWEP halt Story 👇 https://t.co/VzLBrmSsPL
