The Home Office has announced an interim measure to double the grace period for asylum seekers transitioning to independent accommodation, aiming to curtail refugee homelessness.
Recent research has indicated a significant rise in refugee homelessness over the last year, prompting the Home Office to revise the support available to asylum seekers.
Officials revealed that the daily cost for housing asylum seekers in hotels has surged to £8 million, underscoring the need for quicker processing of claims.
Amidst rising refugee homelessness, the Home Office aims to support local authorities by extending the grace period from 28 to 56 days for refugees.
