This toolkit is practical resource for professionals working in homelessness services to support migrants from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) who find themselves destitute with no recourse to public funds (NRPF). It has been developed to promote collaboration between homelessness and migrant support services so as to meet the range of needs that destitute migrants face including housing, subsistence, legal advice and wider support. It covers: understanding the needs of destitute migrants; developing a shared understanding of no recourse to public funds; supporting staff to make informed decisions; joint working between refugee, migrant and homelessness services. It also provides information on how to deliver a cross sector migrant destitution events and includes good practice case studies from across England throughout. The toolkit has been informed by the findings of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) funded Ending Migrant Destitution events between 2015-2016. (Edited publisher abstract)
