Government is working to explore a model of asylum accommodation that achieves value for money and supports asylum system reform. As part of the Government’s commitment to close all asylum hotels, we are looking at a range of more appropriate sites, including ex-military sites, so we can reduce the impact on communities. We recognise the challenges in the private rental sector market. Therefore, using crown land to provide additional capacity, especially for single adults initially arriving in the UK will mitigate some of these issues and reduces the risk of homelessness.
