The number of asylum seekers receiving support from local councils has more than tripled over the last 10 years
HERE were a total of 112,187 asylum seekers receiving support from local authorities at the end of December 2024.
That's more than three times higher than the 36,223 people receiving support in 2014, according to the latest Home Office figures, and doesn’t include people here under the Homes for Ukraine or Afghan Resettlement Programme.
Just over 41,000 of the people receiving support last year were being housed in hotels or other contingency accommodation.
