Written Question
Homelessness: Refugees
Friday 10th May 2024

Asked by: Lord Bishop of Southwark (Bishops - Bishops)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the recent Refugee Council report Keys to the City 2024: ending refugee homelessness in London and its finding that in the two years to September 2023, there was a 239 per cent increase in refugees requiring homelessness support from local authorities after being evicted from Home Office asylum accommodation.

Answered by Lord Sharpe of Epsom - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

We recognise the number of individuals moving on from the asylum support system is placing pressure on local authorities. The Home Office and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities are working closely on this and have been regularly engaging with local authorities to ensure they are supported. There are a number of improvements in train to ensure local authorities receive early notification of those leaving Home Office asylum accommodation to enable effective planning.
