Accommodation is offered on a no-choice basis across the United Kingdom and there are established mechanisms in place via Migrant Help and Support Casework, if individuals have a specific, acute need to be accommodated in a particular area. Accommodation providers may need to move individuals for various reasons. However, we limit the amount of moves that can take place through our contract.
