Asylum seekers must pay £10k towards housing
Bristol Post
|June 30, 2026
ASYLUM seekers will be made to pay up to £10,000 towards the cost of their accommodation and support once they start earning, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has announced.
-
They must pay off the full amount before they can be eligible for settled status under the plans.
Eligible adults will likely pay off an amount each month above a set threshold - similar to a student loan.
Migrants need settled status, or indefinite leave to remain, to be able to permanently live, work, and study in the UK. The Government says it spent £4 billion on accommodation and support for asylum seekers last year, and the Home Office estimates the average cost per person per night of accommodating asylum seekers was £23.25 in dispersal accommodation and £144 in hotels - while subsistence payments range from £9.95 to £49.18 per person per week. Ms Mahmood described that as “too high”.
