The UK Home Office reports that 73,068 asylum seekers are living in “non-hotel” accommodation. The figure covers the year to June 2026 and includes housing types such as shared homes, flats and military bases.
The outlets cite the same Home Office statistic and describe it as part of a wider accommodation system for asylum seekers. While the reporting emphasizes the scale of non-hotel placements, the underlying data referenced is consistent across the sources provided. The coverage does not add alternative figures or contest the classification, focusing instead on the reported total and what “non-hotel” accommodation covers.
