The Ministry Housing Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) has launched a portal for pledges of offers of homes to accommodate people arriving from Afghanistan.

Portal: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/afghanistan-housing-portal-offers-of-support

The portal has been created to allow the government to collect and process offers of additional housing support for people arriving from Afghanistan, where those offers are for entire homes and from property owners, organisations or companies.

Those who would like to contribute something other than entire homes, for example, housing, fostering or donations, can visit the ‘Help refugees who have come to the UK’ page to offer help to refugees in their local area.
