Overview

A person's immigration status may affect whether they can access benefits, housing assistance and other forms of support.

In some circumstances, making an immigration application or resolving an immigration issue can help a person avoid or resolve homelessness or destitution.

The pages in this section explain some of the key immigration routes and options that may be available to people who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF) or who need to regularise their immigration status. The following pages cover:

  • applications to have an NRPF condition lifted
  • the Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession (MVDAC)
  • the EU Settlement Scheme for EEA nationals and their family members
  • the Windrush Scheme
  • applications for British citizenship by children and adults
  • immigration application fees and fee waivers

These pages are intended to help practitioners identify potential immigration options. A person should always seek advice from a regulated immigration adviser before making an immigration application. See our information about finding immigration and asylum advice.
