Praxis finalist for World Habitat Awards

Praxis housing project, hosting migrant women and families in eight houses across London in collaboration with Commonweal housing, is one of the finalists for the World Habitat Awards.

Through our housing project we provide accommodation to migrant families and women supported by local authorities. We use the nightly rate that we receive from authorities to pay the rent on the properties, fund the housing team and subsidise accommodation for single women who would otherwise be homeless. As part of the service, residents also have access to free immigration advice and support groups provided within Praxis.

David Ireland, the Director of World Habitat, said: "This is a really impressive financial model that provides some of the most vulnerable people in the UK with safe and secure housing"
