Migrant Support

Hackney Community Law Centre is involved with migrant support on a day to day basis with on-going legal casework and representation.

Many of our clients come directly to HCLC to challenge issues with regard to their failure to obtain accommodation or financial support from the UK Border Agency which they are entitled to.

HCLC is actively involved with providing advice and casework support at the Hackney Migrant Centre (HMC). We have supported HMC since its inception in 2007.

HCLC staff consistently provides high quality legal advice in the areas of both social housing and immigration law at the Wednesday afternoon support sessions at HMC, St. Mary’s Church Hall in Stoke Newington.

Between 5 and 10 migrants and asylum seekers – often very vulnerable and without a place to stay – are advised each week about housing and immigration matters.

Many cases have been taken on by the Law Centre with successful outcomes.
