Refugee homelessness in UK has more than doubled in two years, charity says

Naccom members accommodated record 4,434 refugees and migrants in 2024-25 but could not house another 3,450

Thousands of refugees are facing a growing homelessness crisis, according to a network of more than 100 organisations across the UK who say homelessness has more than doubled among refugees in the last two years.

Naccom, the national charity of 140 frontline refugee and migrant organisations, blames the increase on near-constant government policy changes" and the introduction of eVisas, which some refugees have not been able to activate in order to access vital services and support.
