If [I do not] have Kairos, I am homeless...
Our homes provide a place of sanctuary for single adult asylum seekers whose appeal rights are exhausted (ARE) and who have No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF). We offer them free, safe, and secure housing, along with a small weekly support payment and donations in kind to help with essential living supplies.
We also house individuals at risk of homelessness who have recently been granted refugee status, providing not just accommodation but also hands-on support to help them navigate their new circumstances. We assist with tenancy management, budgeting, benefit applications and appointments, ensuring they can sustain their housing and work towards independence.
Through weekly check-ins, one-to-one support and community connections, we empower all our guests to access essential services, improve their wellbeing and build a stable foundation for the future.
