Wealden District Council is looking for private landlords and property owners with a property available to rent in Hailsham to help a Syrian refugee family resettled in the Hailsham area.
A two bedroomed flat or house in Hailsham is being sought to support the family. The Council says it will ensure that rental payments are always made to the landlord and other tenancy conditions are met.
Like neighbouring authorities the Council has committed to help find homes for up to 40 Syrian refugees over the next five years, all of whom are in desperate need of assistance.
They are vulnerable people, who through no fault of their own, have been living in refugee camps and insecure accommodation in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt and Syria.
If you are an owner or landlord with property in the Hailsham area that may be suitable for this family, or you know someone who may have a suitable property, please contact the Council’s housing department by emailing housingoptions@wealden.gov.uk or calling 01323 443370.
