Migrant Experiences of Homelessness During the Covid-19 Pandemic

The UK government’s Everyone In scheme, announced in March 2020, required local authorities to temporarily house all homeless individuals in their area regardless of immigration status. In providing support through safe and secure accommodation, Everyone In also provided a crucial moment of visibility for migrants experiencing homelessness. Yet, just as it provided life-changing opportunities for some, the scheme was not straightforwardly a celebratory moment for migrants. This article explores life-story narratives co-produced with migrants across three urban contexts that capture their experiences of homelessness before and during the pandemic.
