West Sussex County Council is committed to supporting individuals and families at risk, through ongoing UK government Afghan resettlement and relocation arrangements.
Earlier schemes including the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) and the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) have been brought together under the Afghan Resettlement Programme (ARP).
Together with our district and borough partners, we have helped to resettle families in West Sussex under all 3 schemes. We will continue to work closely with all our partners to support those families already within the county.
Our priority is to find self-contained, long-term accommodation for people and families looking to rebuild their lives in West Sussex. If you have, or know of anyone who has affordable properties available for rent for at least 12 months, please get in touch by emailing: refugee.resettlement@westsussex.gov.uk.
Further information is available on GOV.UK about how you can help, such as providing housing or by volunteering.
