Asylum seekers and Immigration
No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF)
The NRPF team supports single adults who are subject to immigration control (for example: asylum seekers, failed asylum seekers and people who have overstayed their visa) and have no recourse to public funds (ie. welfare benefits, public housing and asylum support).
Each Local Authority has a statutory duty to provide support in the way of accommodation and financial support to certain categories of people with no recourse to public funds.
A Community Care Assessment is carried out under Community Care legislation. Home Office documentation and health reports are required to support the claim.
This is a complex area of work involving the interface of immigration, community care and human rights law.
- Who may refer: Single Adults with no recourse to public funds

- Information required for referral: Community Care Assessment carried out by the primary services of Adult Social Care, i.e. Mental Health, Physical Disabilities/HIV/Learning Disabilities/Older Peoples.
