This is homelessness by design. It has to end - extending the move on period to allow more time for people to find accommodation is essential, as is fixing the flaws in the system that leave people without support as soon as they are recognised as deserving protection www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Analysis of government data shows numbers increased from 3,560 in 2021/22 to 19,310 in 2024/25.

Refugees are being failed by statutory services and a shortened move-on period.

Last year, 2,008 refugees were accommodated by our network. That's a 106% increase on 2022/23.

NACCOM members were forced to turn away 3,450 people experiencing destitution and homelessness in 2024/2025.

This is likely to be a severe underestimation of the scale of unmet need.

The Government's 'A National Plan to End Homelessness' aims to halve long-term rough sleeping.

But it does not go far enough to address how immigration and asylum policies actively drive homelessness – such as as No Recourse to Public Funds conditions.

This year, we have felt dismayed and horrified as hostile policies increased and racist rhetoric continues to creep into mainstream political discourse.

But solidarity trumps hate.

In 2025, we have been proud to support the extraordinary efforts of our membership.

Some rare good news!

Following a legal challenge by Deighton Pierce Glynn and significant pressure from our sector inc. @homelesslink.bsky.social, until 16 Jan the Govt has agreed to extend the move-on period for newly-granted refugees facing street homelessness to 56 days.

Cross-government approaches to tackling homelessness are welcome, but government strategy must always tackle immigration policies that further push people into destitution.

The move-on period is a critical time for people to find safe, secure housing and support after receiving a decision on their claim and being asked to leave Home Office accommodation.

The Government must reinstate the 56-day extension.

Very proud of the @naccomnetwork.bsky.social team and network for this data launch, but the reading is grim 👇🏻

In summary: hostile Government policies = increased homelessness for refugees, people seeking asylum and other migrants

#EndDestitution
Today, we launch our new data briefing for 2024/2025.

It's never been more urgent to fight for a welcoming society, where people seeking asylum, refugees and other migrants are free from destitution and homelessness and can live with dignity as part of their community.
