Our Mission

At GARAS (Gloucestershire Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers) we offer support to those seeking asylum in Gloucestershire, welcoming them when they arrive, advocating for them in their daily struggles, supporting them if they face being sent back as well as helping them adjust to their long term future if they are recognised as refugees.

Do you have a property to let in Gloucestershire?

Do want to use it to help make a difference, whilst being ensured hassle-free, guaranteed rent?

What do we need?

We are looking for two, three and four-bedroom homes to resettle families in Gloucestershire who have been granted leave to remain, with the right to work, access benefits and other services. The Resettlement Scheme is part of a national programme which is fully funded by the Home Office.

What do we ask of landlords?

We ask landlords to commit to a 12-24 month arrangement (preferably longer), which will provide families with a stable start to life in Gloucestershire.

All properties will be inspected for safety and suitability.

What can a landlord expect?

All properties will be painted, carpeted and furnished to the tenants’ needs

Landlords will be paid the Local Housing Allowance rates

Guaranteed monthly rental payments direct to your bank account, with no void periods

What are the benefits of working with us?

Peace of mind and hassle free management of the property

Continued support for tenants from specialist case workers at GARAS

How will we help?

Specialist Case Workers at GARAS support the families to be independent and help them to maintain and sustain their tenancies. GARAS assists and supports the tenants to look after the property and pay their rent on time.
