Asylum Accommodation: Ending Hotel Use and Expanding Alternative Accommodation

Minister updates Parliament

The government will announce plans to end the use of hotels for housing asylum seekers and expand alternative accommodation options. The statement sets out the rationale, timeline, and new accommodation models intended to replace the current hotel system, which has become expensive and contentious.

This affects thousands of asylum seekers currently in hotels across the UK and represents a shift in how the state houses vulnerable migrants. The change will have financial implications for the public purse and local communities where alternative accommodation is sited, while also affecting the hotel sector and charities providing asylum support.
