Between June and September 2025, we carried out interviews with 20 people working in 14 local authorities across London (focusing on those with more significant asylum-seeker populations) and 13 interviews with other relevant parties, including voluntary and community sector organisations. In addition, qualitative research was carried out with asylum-seekers and refugees in the Hillingdon area in collaboration with REAP. This was supplemented with visits and conversations at local services, co-ordination meetings and housing workshops in various locations in London.

Our project report scopes the move-on housing challenge from the perspective of London boroughs and maps LA responses and draws out examples of good practice, focusing on work with single adults.
