Room sharing take place in a number of sectors and is not limited to supported asylum seekers.

There asylum accommodation contracts set out clearly when room sharing can take place and the numbers of people sharing rooms is minimal.

There are currently no plans to end room sharing for unrelated asylum seeking adults.
