Housing Issues for Migrant Workers

Dave McDevitt has just started working as
the Migrant Communities Support Officer
for Hastings, Rother and Eastbourne. His
brief is to gain an understanding of the
housing issues faced by migrant workers in
the area. This will initially involve collating
information on the sorts of housing
occupied by migrant workers and gain an
understanding of the problems migrant
communities face in accessing services.
The long term aim is to improve links
between migrant communities and the
council.

His first task is to make links with
individuals, groups or organisations that
might be able to help in building up an
understanding of these communities. If you
have any information on this subject and
would like to contribute it, please contact
Dave on 01424 45 1342 or
