Kairos Housing provides accommodation and support for people who have become destitute and homeless in Blackburn with Darwen after receiving a decision (positive or negative) on their asylum claim. Individuals referred must have a local connection to Blackburn with Darwen. Referrals are via Asylum and Refugee Community in Blackburn and Darwen Asylum and Refugee Enterprise (DARE) in Darwen only.
We are a local inner city church with a large migrant, asylum seeker and refugee community. We have developed a lot of experience in helping those communities in practical, community and spiritual ways. We also have close links to Kairos Housing and meet in the same building as the ARC Project Blackburn although these are separate charities.
