      I was wondering how they were clearing out the hotels so fast, and it appears they’re just getting them out the hotels once they’ve been approved but giving them no time to find their own accomodation and throwing them out to sleep rough. What a terrible policy.

      They do this for homeless British people too, except we’re given more leeway in which we’re only chucked out of hotels after a place has been found for us.

      I work in the homelessness charity sector, can confirm this is a result of Home Office changing their policy by reducing the timeframe given from a refugee receiving their status to needing to leave their temporary accommodation. Local Authorities give similar timeframes for British nationals too now too when previously they were more flexible.

      Personal opinions anyone has the right to hold on this issue aside (I got death threats in my inbox from accounts with Russian and Iranian IP addresses last time I indicated a personal view on this in r/unitedkingdom), the fact remains it now leaves a very small timeframe for a new arrival with potential language issues and no knowledge of our processes to arrange and settle in a tenancy for a single person, let alone a family, so some will end up rough sleeping. As a British national who’s pretty savvy I’d find arranging new accommodation for myself in todays rental market within 28 days a challenge.

      Most of these people shouldn’t be here at all – there’s no reason for a Sudanese person who’s already in a safe European country to come to the UK. They should be sent back, either to their home or at least to France.

      However, if they’re actually granted asylum after an unknown period of time it seems a bit unreasonable to expect them to find a house in a month. How many of us could do that? They should be able to stay in Home Office accommodation, but paying rent now that they are getting income, until they can find somewhere else.

      Of course that would be a lot easier if that accommodation wasn’t all full of people who should go back home.
