This question was answered on 16th April 2018
Local authorities play a vital role in sourcing suitable accommodation for refugees that is affordable, sustainable, meets the complex needs of the families and meets local authority standards.
In the last three years, the UK has welcomed over 10,000 refugees through its resettlement schemes and we are grateful to local authorities for sourcing properties suitable for these vulnerable families, enabling them to begin to rebuild their lives.
