The Home Office is working on an agreed change plan in partnership with Local Authority Chief Executives?through the Home Office Local Government Chief Executive Group. The plan seeks to achieve a more equitable dispersal of asylum seekers across the UK and seeks to overcome barriers to ensure availability of service provision.

The plan has been paused in light of the current COVID-19 crisis but will resume once restrictions on accommodation moves have been lifted.
