<p>While hotels do not provide a long-term solution, they do offer safe, secure and
clean accommodation. We will continue to bring down the number of people in bridging
hotels, moving people into more sustainable accommodation as quickly as possible so
they can put down permanent roots.</p><p> </p><p>To deliver value for money to the
taxpayer, officials are working at pace to consolidate the number of bridging hotels
being used, by maximising capacity in hotels which have available rooms and returning
rooms back to hotels that are not being used or do not match family requirements.</p><p>
</p><p>Part of this work means families can, sometimes, be moved from a hotel scheduled
for closure to another hotel. In these instances, families are given appropriate notice
of a move and are supported by their Home Office Liaison Officer and Local Authority
every step of the way.</p><p> </p><p>We are working intensely across government to
find permanent accommodation for these families.</p>
