The Department ceased using Palantir’s Foundry software on 21 October 2025. Foundry was used to securely share data between MHCLG, the Home Office, Local Authorities and Devolved Administrations to support the Homes for Ukraine scheme. The National Audit Office published a report on the Homes for Ukraine scheme, including use of Palantir technology here.
