<p>The Home Office provides accommodation and other support to asylum seekers who
would otherwise be destitute. The accommodation is arranged through a number of housing
providers, who are contractually required to provide safe, habitable, fit for purpose
and correctly equipped accommodation that complies with the Decent Homes Standard,
as well as standards outlined in relevant national housing legislation.</p><p>There
is an inspection and contract compliance regime in place to ensure that the standards
required in the contracts are met.</p><p>We remain in regular discussion with Providers,
service users, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders about ways to
improve the services provided and we will be making a number of improvements to the
design of the future contracted services as a direct result of such feedback.</p>
