'Integrated in Brent' is an innovative partnership project launched to provide Refugee Community Organisations (RCOs) with practical support, training and guidance, so as to promote better understanding, participation and access to social housing for their clients.

The scheme, spearheaded by Innisfree and Inquilab Housing Associations in partnership with the London Borough of Brent and the Brent Refugees and Migrants Forum (BRMF), is the first of its kind in London.

See the report of our conference in June as well as our December newsletter (download links below).

The Good Practice Guide sets out some of the lessons learned during the project.
