Hact launches Phase II of Accommodate - the Refugee Housing Partnership Project
Hact - the Housing Associations' Charitable Trust- is inviting applications
for Phase II of its flagship refugee project Accommodate - the Refugee Housing
Partnership Project. The Project seeks to encourage policy makers and service
providers to work together with refugee groups to deliver better housing and
related support for refugee communities in dispersal areas in England.
Partnerships that bring together housing and support providers, local
authorities and refugee groups will be eligible to bid for a grant of up to
£50,000 (£25,000 per year over two years) for phase II of the project which
will begin in February 2005 and conclude in December 2006. Hact will select
five partnerships from interested phase I projects as well as other
partnerships that meet the criteria for phase II. All successful partnerships
are expected to deliver on an action plan agreed by core members that will
result in verifiable improvement in housing and related provision for
refugees. The learning from the project will be captured by an independent
evaluation team from the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies, University of
Birmingham, who are working with the partnerships and hact to promote and
share the learning as widely as possible.
Deadline for Phase II applications is 18 January 2005.
