Scrap policy that gives refugees with leave to remain 28 days to find housing, say UK groups
The article discusses a policy change that shortens the time asylum seekers have to find housing after being granted leave to remain, from 56 days to 28 days. Over 60 homelessness and asylum seeker organizations have urged the UK government to reverse this policy, arguing that it will leave thousands more refugees homeless at a time when "racist sentiment" is on the rise. The organizations, including prominent groups like Crisis, Shelter, and St Mungo's, believe the new policy will exacerbate the homelessness crisis, particularly during the winter months. They have written to the Home Secretary and Housing Secretary, calling for the cancellation of this controversial change.
