Besides that, the article can't be right because it says "One charity supporting homeless refugees said it was mostly seeing young women under the age of 30 asking for help." We all know it is only young men coming here on small boats. We've seen the pictures. |  |

Morning Tommy. (Note, this is talking about people granted refugee status. They are here legally) [Post edited 6 Feb 8:30]

It’s a genuine scheme. But in the long run it’s far more cost effective than housing migrants who are waiting on a decision in hotels. But it’s not just about building new council houses. The scheme also involves refurbishing old buildings to provide accommodation for migrants. |  |

Sadly this is a side effect of speeding up the process, which everyone was calling for. Once a decision to stay is granted, a refugee must leave asylum accommodation within 28–56 days. Other than applying for UC they are on their own with very little support. [Post edited 6 Feb 9:25]

I think plenty get it but there are always a few, maybe due to other distractions, who miss the drift. It happens but it doesn't remove sarcasm, satire and rhetoric from valid strands of discourse as a way of illustrating valid points. |  |

Tbf not always easy to tell - some takes are so ridiculous you assume them to be satirical! |  | |  |

Fair point. This stage seems rushed when they’re still spending over 6 months making decisions for more than half the applicants. Over 12 months for a third of applicants. It’s quite an imbalance between the decision time and the ‘go and find yourself somewhere to live’ time. |  |

Bull by name, bullsh*t by nature. As Glassers says, it’s a genuine scheme. But this rancid turd of a man seems to be ignoring that it’s part of a much wider £39BN social and affordable housing programme available to all. It’s just racist rage bait for his hard of thinking followers. Giving councils a way to acquire and refurb properties that can ease the migrant housing issue in the short term and enter their social housing stock long-term actually seems sensible (for once from Labour!). It’s surely a much better use of funding than greasing the palms of Tory donors to put them up in hotels at inflated rates. I think they’re also going to be using old army barracks too - again, a sensible repurposing (as long as they’re not disease-ridden hell holes that become a bit like concentration camps). These people are too mean and bitter to care about the facts though. They just want migrants deported, even ones who have every right to be here. [Post edited 6 Feb 10:09]

I’d missed that. Having now read about it, looks a good idea. |  |

Or they should just sell their smartphones, flat screen televisions and Nike trainers, the lavish bar stewards. And their tents. Bloomin' luxury. |  | |  |
| Bloody refugees on 12:11 - Feb 6 with 816 views | badadski | You a missing a point here, homeless or nearly homeless is just not having a fixed abode to live or close to eviction. when this happens they are then fast tracked to a hotel or HMO on a temporary basis until either immigration is granted or rejected of which can take years and they are then deported. Through out this process they would still be classed as homeless as its on par with you selling your house and living in a hotel. They still have a roof over their heads and the amenities that that the government grants them on a weekly basis which costs tax payers a fortune. There will be a few in tents but locally if you walk the streets at night or look in doorways and see who is rough sleeping you will find next to none our immigrants as they are being put up so dont read too much into this very non news article as sites like this are few and far between. |  | |  |

These are people who have been granted leave to remain and have a legal right to be here. If they are assessed as low priority for housing they won't necessarily even be given temporary accommodation by the council. At this stage they are at least now eligible to work, which most of them want to do, but it's tricky to get a job when you don't have a permanent address. In Norwich, I would say around half of the Big Issue sellers and many of the rough sleepers are young women who were not born in the UK. Your post contains quite a lot of misinformation, certainly more than is in the article linked in the OP. |  |

I appreciate how hard it is for a person with no domicile/ identity/bank account to gain employment and have worked in the sector of trying to get vulnerable individuals back into education or work. Unfortunately the information is not misinformation, the amount of amount of property insurance policies that have to be underwritten allowing specifically refugees or emergency housing again specifically for refugees/asylum seekers by groups such as Nacro, Serco, Cromwood coming through on a daily basis is massive. More so now the Hotels are less frequently used due to the public uproar and bashing government got for facilitating the scheme in the first place and how much money it was costing per hotel which was eye watering. Its a massive problem either way but of course know there will be undocumented immigrants/aliens that do not want to run the risk of being documented/processed and going through legal channels for right to remain and choose to rough sleep the same as any other rough sleeper. |  | |  |
