## Key points

- £150 million is earmarked for new asylum accommodation sites.
- The funding is intended to help end the use of asylum hotels.
- No locations or number of new centres have been announced.

## Summary

The Government will spend a further £150 million on setting up large asylum accommodation sites, with the aim of closing asylum hotels. The plans could mean more rural communities hosting large numbers of asylum seekers, while the Conservatives say the funding shows Labour is not planning to stop arrivals or deport people.

The money is allocated for 2027-28, but the Home Office has not said how many centres will be built or where they will be. Existing sites include Wethersfield in Essex, which cost £49 million to establish and is due to expand from 800 to 1,245 beds; more than 16,000 asylum seekers were in hotels at the end of June, down from 56,000 in 2023. The OBR said support costs should keep falling if claims are processed at the current rate, while councils’ homelessness spending rose from £2 billion in 2010-11 to £4 billion in 2025-26.
