Details

The Funding Instruction is for Local Authorities who are eligible for the Asylum Grant 2025-2026. The grant provides funding to support local authorities with the costs of supporting asylum seekers in their areas.

It will provide funding to authorities who accommodate asylum seekers in Dispersal Accommodation (DA), Overflow Dispersal Accommodation (ODA), Initial Accommodation (IA) and Contingency Accommodation (CA). There is also provision of payment for asylum seekers across medium sites and LA-led accommodation through ongoing pilots.

We are aware of accessibility issues with these publications. We are working to fix these.
