<p>The Government has worked at pace to develop and launch a new and bespoke resettlement
scheme, announced on 18 August, which will relocate 5,000 vulnerable people in its
first year, rising to up to 20,000 over the coming years –one of the most generous
schemes in British history. The Afghan Citizens’ Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) is in
addition to the Afghan Relocations Assistance Policy (ARAP), which offers any current
or former locally employed staff who are assessed to be under serious threat to life
priority relocation to the UK.</p><p>The need for suitable accommodation to support
those we welcome is pressing. We need the help of every Council across the country
to step up to offer accommodation and support for these families, so that we can swiftly
help them into permanent, safe homes and enable them to start rebuilding their lives
and integrating into our communities.</p>
