The number of homeless refugees seeking urgent housing from English councils has surged by 239% in the past two years. The report indicates that one in five refugees seeking help were sleeping rough in 2022, a number that has now increased to two in five in 2023.
Asylum seekers, once granted asylum, have a limited time frame to find a new place to live, leading to many struggling due to delays and inadequate housing support. The influx of newly granted refugees and clearing the asylum backlog have strained council housing services, leaving many on the streets.
