Positive Action in Housing Ltd is a Scottish wide charity working with communities, housing providers, voluntary organisations and faith groups to enable everyone to have an equal chance to live in good quality, affordable and safe homes, free from discrimination and the fear of racial harassment and violence.
We offer advice, information and support to people from new migrant, refugee and minority ethnic communities. We run a free, confidential and impartial casework service for those facing poverty, homelessness, racism or poor housing. We run a Hardship Fund and provide emergency shelter and practical resources for destitute asylum seekers and their families.
We provide volunteering and sessional work opportunities. We support human rights and anti-racist campaigns. We inform social policy from a user-led perspective. We offer training, consultancy and best practice guidance to Registered Social Landlords, voluntary organisations and minority ethnic/refugee organisations.
Positive Action in Housing is independent of any political group, religious creed, ideology or economic faction.

The Scottish Ethnic Minorities Directory is now available to buy at a cost of £25 (incl p&p) - all proceeds go to our destitution service and hardship fund which provides free shelter, food and practical support for destitute women, families and young people.
The Directory lists hundreds of local and national Black/Minority Ethnic (BME), Refugee and New migrants groups, organisations and services.
There is no other accurate or up to date database of contacts within the BME, refugee and new migrants sector.
Hundreds of new groups
A must-have resource for anyone wanting to build links with BME, refugee and new migrant groups.
No public body, housing provider, voluntary organisation or anyone trying to reach diverse groups within their communities of operation should be working without it.
