NesT became part of the regular Resettlement Programme of the German Federal Government on 1 January 2023. In 2023, NesT will enable the resettlement of up to 200 refugees to Germany. These refugees have fled their countries of origin and reside in the first country of asylum where they are unable to access sufficient protection, lack return options and sustainable life perspectives. Both the Resettlement Programme and NesT guarantee a legal and secure pathway to protection and a long-term life perspective in Germany.
NesT involves civil society actors, the sponsors, who are responsible for providing a suitable accommodation and covering the basic net rent (Nettokaltmiete in German) for a period of twelve months. Furthermore, the sponsors offer integration support for at least one year, with the objective of assisting the refugees in their daily lives. The Civil Society Contact Point (ZKS) was established for NesT with the specific purpose of providing training, support and information to sponsors and those interested in becoming sponsors. The ZKS comprises members of Caritas, the German Red Cross and the Protestant Church of Westphalia.
