Are you a tenant who lives in social housing? Are you hearing a lot about immigration, asylum and social housing?
Having the correct information is important. This isn’t about politics, it’s about people. Knowing the facts doesn’t have to be complicated.
Which is why, as the Welsh Government appointed lead on Tenant Voice, we’ve made this tenant guide. So that you can have the facts about social housing & immigration, migration & asylum, not the fear.
This is a practical guide aimed at social housing tenants.
It contains:

We often see myths and untruths via word of mouth and social media, blaming immigrants and people seeking asylum for the lack of homes and resources. These claims are inaccurate, harmful and can turn tenants against each other in communities.
We will always champion facts, over fear. We hope you find this guide useful.
