The council works with asylum seekers who have been granted leave to remain by the Home Office and have been notified that their National Asylum Seeker support is ending.
We offer support to individuals to access healthcare, education, housing and any other support required to help them to settle in Sandwell.
Who can receive support
People making the transition from asylum seeker to resident, at the point when they have received the Home Office decision, and they have been notified that their National Asylum Seeker support is ending and they will need to move out of the temporary accommodation provided for asylum seekers.
Referral process
To make a referral please email housing_choice@sandwell.gov.uk with the person or family's name, address and contact number. We will arrange to visit them at their home or at their nearest council office.
If you are concerned about an asylum seeker who is roughsleeping, please email rough_sleepers@sandwell.gov.uk
