  • The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment.  This situation meant to be temporary often takes years to settle.  Many kosovan families even after years do not know whether they have their right to stay permanently in the UK.  Refugees see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely.  Often the bond between their community is the only attachment that they form, partly because of their common plight and partly because of a need to ascertain their cultural identity.

  • Samantha is a London homeless, 35 year old single mum with three children aged 11, 9 and an infant of 5 months. She was renting privately until a few months ago when her landlord without much notice gave her an eviction notice that made her homeless. The council of Newham accepted her homeless status in June 2013,but did not perform its legal duty until February 2014.  Prior of this date and to this day, she has relied on friends and family for a place to sleep in. Last February, the council offered an emergency hotel room in Birmingham. For Samantha this would have meant losing her part time work, up-rooting her children   from school and losing all the support from her family and friends. On these basis she refused to go. The council offered then  a hotel room in Ilford. In her words, "she had to run away. It was filthy to the point that the bed had unwashed and stained covers, broken wardrobe and mould everywhere. The kitchen containing a single stove was serving 23 families. It had no fridge and no cupboards and dirty." Shocked she went straight to the council to denounce the place. Admittedly, they sent her to another emergency hotel room, again in Ilford. Equally rotten, she took photo as evidence which have enabled her to put a case forward into review. However, months later she is still living an unsettled life causing her and her children anguish.

Prior of this date and to this day, she has relied on friends and family for a place to sleep in. Last February, the council offered an emergency hotel room in Birmingham. For Samantha this would have meant losing her part time work, up-rooting her children   from school and losing all the support from her family and friends. On these basis she refused to go. The council offered then  a hotel room in Ilford. In her words, "she had to run away. It was filthy to the point that the bed had unwashed and stained covers, broken wardrobe and mould everywhere. The kitchen containing a single stove was serving 23 families. It had no fridge and no cupboards and dirty." Shocked she went straight to the council to denounce the place. Admittedly, they sent her to another emergency hotel room, again in Ilford. Equally rotten, she took photo as evidence which have enabled her to put a case forward into review. However, months later she is still living an unsettled life causing her and her children anguish.
