Thank you for contacting me about accommodation for asylum seekers.
This is a complex area and was complicated even further by the Covid-19 pandemic. I hope I can provide some further information in this response to help explain the current situation.
Any asylum seeker who would otherwise be destitute is able to obtain support from the time they arrive in the UK until their claim is fully determined and they have exhausted their appeal rights.
In addition, failed asylum seekers receive support if they are unable to leave the UK for reasons beyond their control and would otherwise be destitute.
