Restricted Eligibility Support Service (RESS)
The Restricted Eligibility Support Service (RESS) is a unique and innovative homelessness prevention and support service. It works with Greater Manchester residents facing immigration-related barriers, helping them to navigate complex systems in order to move on from homelessness, live well and thrive.
RESS is a partnership between the Boaz Trust, Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit (GMIAU) and Booth Centre.
It delivers specialist floating support and immigration advice for people who have restricted eligibility for public funds because of their immigration status and are facing, or are at risk of, homelessness.
