Advisers Get Clearer View of Migrant Rights

A newly revised website that gives clear guidance on the housing rights of new migrants is formally launched today (6 October) by the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH). The housing rights website has been completely rewritten and re-launched to provide an even better guide to housing and housing benefits rights for refugees, migrants and other new arrivals to England.  The guidance on housing benefit is now more comprehensive, and the pages for advisers have been comprehensively extended and now include many examples of case law. The site now provides extremely clear and comprehensive guidance on entitlements for different types of immigration status, with details on the differences that apply to different kinds of European migrant and other complex issues that arise. Go to the site by clicking on the CIH logo below.
