Street Legal
Grant: £66,000
February 11, 2015
Street Legal is a cross-sector partnership bringing together St Mungo’s Broadway, Refugee Action and Praxis Community Projects.
The philosophy of the Street Legal programme is to take the service to the hardest to reach groups – those that are not accessing building-based homelessness and immigration services, or are not well served by them due to a lack of flexibility and understanding of the complex needs of the client group by mainstream providers. We advocate for immigration issues to be seen as a support need, rather than as a barrier to accessing support.
The aim of Street Legal is to ensure all clients have a route out of rough sleeping either by:
- Resolving their immigration situation, securing necessary documentation and securing housing and support both during the process and following its resolution or
- Facilitating a dignified return to a home country through assisted voluntary return.
