<p>In April, MHCLG announced £43.1 million of government funding to welcome Hong Kong
British Nationals (Overseas) [BN(O)] status holders to the UK and to support them
to access housing, work and educational support.</p><p>MHCLG has published an online
bilingual Welcome Pack on GOV.UK and is establishing a network of 12 welcome hubs
across the UK, alongside funding to enable local authorities in England to provide
English language provision and destitution support, where needed.</p><p>Additionally,
MHCLG has invited Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations
to bid for a share of a £2.6 million fund to support programmes that will help BN(O)
status holders make the best start to rebuilding their lives. The grant schemes will
provide regional community support, support on a national level, educational resources
for schools, and a hate crime reporting service. We expect successful VCSE organisation
to begin delivery in the autumn.</p>
