The latest Home Office figures show that at the end of June 2025, there were 1,073 asylum seekers being housed in hotels, known as "contingency accommodation", in Sussex. The majority are living in West Sussex, with 1,018 divided between six or seven hotels in the county. Mid-Sussex district has the most with 477, followed by Crawley with 268. PA Media Chichester has 161, while Horsham has 112 asylum seekers in hotels.
