Refugee Resettlement Support Services

Suffolk is already participating in the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) resettlement scheme. A new scheme, the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) is starting this autumn. Both schemes are expected to deliver the same support, the difference is the eligibility criteria for the participants. As schemes to support refugees continue to evolve and emerge to respond to world events, successful providers will be expected to flex their provision to adapt to urgent calls to respond to new and unexpected circumstances. Lot 1: Housing provision – the sourcing and equipping of private sector accommodation Lot 2: Integration support provision – year 1 intensive support – support and assistance with initial integration and developing independence Lot 3: Integration support provision – year 2 onwards transition support
