This ongoing intensive, comprehensive one-to-one support includes:

• housing
• benefits
• financial and budgetary management
• health
• education
• legal status
• training and employment
• family reunification
• community integration

Extern's Refugee Floating Support Service work across the community and has existing networks with a range of other refugee and asylum support organisations.

The team actively participates in the Migrant Forum, the Refugee and Asylum Forum and the Northern Ireland Asylum Stakeholders’ Forum.
