Support for people with no recourse to public funds

Some people in Liverpool have immigration conditions that mean they cannot access public funds such as most benefits or housing support. This is known as having No Recourse to Public Funds, often shortened to NRPF.

Liverpool City Council is committed to supporting residents with NRPF where there is a legal duty to do so. 

We have a dedicated NRPF Pathway Team that works with adult social care, children’s social care, housing and other council services.

How to get support from the NRPF Pathway Team

Our social care teams will decide if you qualify for support from the NRPF. They will make a referral to the team if you do.

Adults: Adults who may need care or support should contact Adult Social Care.
Children and families: Families with children should contact Children’s Social Care.

Support from other organisations

Liverpool has a strong network of voluntary and community organisations that support refugees, migrants and people with NRPF.

These organisations can offer advice, advocacy, practical support and community connections.
