The service is a floating service for 66 clients living in Haringey. the focus of the service is housing and tenancy issues, but includes ore general support that helps people move towards independent living. as most of our clients still will need help with translation, making phone calls, writing letters and completing forms on their behalf on issues regarding benefits, tax credit, universal credit, housing, immigration, consumer credit, debt issues, utility bills and other services for some time to come.
Over the years KAC has continued to realise the need to promote both the interests of as well as integrating the Kurdish community into the wider community of Haringey and the rest of London.
We achieve this through operating an open door policy whereby our services  are available to everyone.
We fund our service with the help of Housing Related Support Service – a service run by the office of the Deputy Prime Minister with the contract managed by Haringey Council’s Voluntary Sector Team
Our goals remain providing education, training, recreational facilities, leisure activities, cultural events and providing specialist advice on housing, employment, immigration, and health and welfare matters in a culturally sensitive way.
