The ministers doubled the grace period given to the refugees to the refugees for infection from the residence supported from 28 to 56 days in December.
The council and charities took this step after warning about the rising levels of the refugee homeless, but the government says it was only intended to be a temporary change.
Some shelters stated that the change was effective, but the ministers have decided to return to the short term from September, a decision donated that they are “waste”.
The government says that they will still work with other bodies to provide “necessary assistance” for the newly recognized refugees.
Family, pregnant women, people above 65 years of age and people with disabilities will be given up to 56 days by December, when the policy will be reviewed again.
Officers In December, it said that the duration doubles Local authorities were designed to support, but it was expected to be implemented by June 2025 when it was convinced by June 2025.
The government has promised to abolish the use of asylum hotels by 2029, but the data released earlier this month showed the number of shelter seekers in hotels. Had increased slightly since labor came to power,
Home office data also shows that ministers must have discovered a way to break the link between the number of people reaching small boats and the number placed in the shelter residence.
Officers are processing faster shelter claims compared to the general election, meaning that the system may have less people in the long term, which requires housing assistance provided by the Home Office.
Charity owners in the homeless and refuge areas have stated that they are “waste” from the decision of the house office to return to the 28-day refugee support period.
More than 70% of organizations working in the homeless and refuge areas said that the 56 -day move had reduced the risk of being homeless, a umbrella group, according to the research by the Nombrela group (NACCOM), a umbrella group.
In a joint statement, NACCOM director and Charity Homeless Link CEO said that the short time would “put more pressure on local authorities and voluntary field services”.

He said: “Government and others can wish to end the use of hotels, but of course we can all agree that this should not be solved to push people on the streets?”
“We have seen a big increase in the number of refugees [over the last two years] Since the home office has processed asylum backlog at speed without adequate support for those who support enough for the holiday given to live. ,
The government’s homeless lack act, which was implemented in 2018, admitted that at least 56 days need to find housing usually.
A refugee is discharged to give a discharge, which is a step-period to live somewhere before being expelled from the house office residence.
If a newly recognized refugee is not found anywhere to live at that time, they often declare themselves homeless for a local authority.
In recent years, lack of available housing options means that many councils and donations have had to use more expensive options, such as hotels and beds and breakfast, to give home to needy people.
Some donations have argued that during the 56-day period, refugees are more likely to give enough time to find jobs and to live somewhere, because universal credit payments are more likely to kick from that point.
A government spokesperson said that he had “a broken shelter and immigration system inherited” and “was taking practical steps to turn around that chaos”.
He said that he would “work with local councils, NGOs and other stakeholders to provide any necessary assistance to those who are given refugee status”.
