<p>To continue to meet UKVI’s obligation to provide accommodation & support to
destitute asylum seekers, the Asylum Accommodation and Support Transformation (AAST)
project has been established to design, develop and procure the future model for asylum
accommodation and support, replacing the existing COMPASS arrangements when they expire
in Sept 2019.</p><p>UKVI cannot predict the number of asylum seekers who will need
accommodation as intake is volatile and subject to change. However dispersal across
the UK is carefully managed by the Home Office to ensure the best outcomes for asylum
seekers and their host communities. We will continue to work with stakeholders within
the existing and new contracting arrangements to manage and refine our dispersal arrangements.</p><p>
