Abstract
The interim briefing presents initial findings from a project exploring
the support available to migrants with no recourse to public funds
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The research included a survey of local authorities in England, and a
call for evidence from migrant support organisations in England,
Scotland and Wales.
More than 90 percent of local authorities had not shared information
about support for people with NRPF during the pandemic, and support
organisations reported that service users had struggled to access food,
shelter and subsistence support during the pandemic.
