Description

The Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) scheme was set up in April 2021 for Afghan citizens who worked for or with the UK Government in Afghanistan and who are in danger of Taliban reprisals because of their association with the British military campaign. British and American military forces withdrew from Afghanistan in August 2021 and the Taliban seized control of the capital city of Kabul at this point. After the militants' takeover, HM government promised to resettle 20,000 refugees and evacuated 15,000 Afghans as part of Operation Pitting. More than 300 local authorities pledged to find homes for those who qualify under the scheme, Buckinghamshire Council was one of them. To date, in Buckinghamshire we have provided homes for 15 Afghan families, and this will increase to 36 in total through a variety of schemes over the coming months.

The homes we rent are typically unfurnished, so we need to furnish them. Previously as these have come online individually, we have relied on donations.
