Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit (GMIAU) - Destitution Project
Advice and support for people who are homeless and/or have no recourse to public funds. Advise on asylum support, NRPF change of condition applications and late EUSS applications.
How to access:
1) Referral Form
Referrals can be made by a third party or by the individual themselves using the referral form on our website: https://gmiau.org/help-and-advice/services/#referrals
Please include as much detail as possible. Referrals are open Monday to Thursday. If eligible for legal aid, the person may be assigned a caseworker to support them with their immigration issue. If we can't take on the case, they'll receive an email with advice from a legal advisor to help them move forward independently.
2) Call Advice-line
Advice is given over the phone and not in writing. If a referral is needed, they may be asked to submit one or we may do it on their behalf, depending on their situation.
