Welcome to a new Migration Foundation
The Migration Foundation launches its new website to mark the launch of a new strategy, a refreshed committee and a much firmer commitment to fund and support innovative approaches that ‘make migration work’. Thank you to all the people and organisations who we have consulted this year and I hope they feel the priorities that we have come up with reflect what they have said. There are five programme priorities including housing, ‘creating a migrant voice’, English language, employment and skills, and anti-trafficking.
The Migration Foundation is an initiative of Metropolitan Housing Partnership (MHP) and, clearly, one of our main areas of focus will be housing associations and their role in addressing the issues that arise in the communities they serve. We have exciting plans to develop social enterprising activity among residents and to raise awareness of trafficking. Our work will also be informed by the work of the Housing and Migration Network which is run by HACT and co-funded with Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
After two years, the learning is starting to emerge through three publications: A Leadership paper has already been published (see resources page); a Private Rented Sector report is scheduled for a January launch; and we are launching the final publication ‘Practical Guidance on Housing and Migration’ next April.
There will be lots more to talk about in the coming months and years.
The Migration Foundation invests where it makes the greatest difference, drawing on our heritage as part of Metropolitan Housing Partnership in working with multicultural communities.
Through this experience, the Migration Foundation has an understanding of the impact of migration. By offering funding and practical support we encourage the integration and advancement of migrant and host communities.
The Migration Foundation: making migration work.
Migration Foundation is a part of Metropolitan Housing Partnership, a unique network of locally focused member organisations working together to provide housing, regeneration, community, care and support services.
