Right now public money fuels private profit while people live in poor conditions. It hurts all our communities. Our report sets out a council-run alternative. Email your MP and ask them to speak about it in Parliament: https://bit.ly/4pFEXly
Tell your MP to back community-led housing in 2 minutes!
It's time to give councils what they need to lead asylum housing and invest in social homes. I’ve asked my MP to read Refugee Action’s new report and back it. Add your voice now!

We’ve got so many real solutions for the new Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, to build an asylum system that works for refugees and communities.
Instead of repeating the last Government’s mistakes, we’d love her to sit down with us and hear them.

Amid all the stuff about ‘dangerous London’ and ‘broken Britain’, new figures show the homicide rate in London is at a 10-year low. Killings dropped by 26% over the last year, from 78 to 58. No one under 25 was murdered during the school summer holidays.

absolutely terrible idea from the government
Mass sites like this segregate people and destroy their well-being. They must be shut and never used again.
It's time we funded and supported councils to house people in communities, instead of funding the profits of private contractors to run asylum accommodation.
