The UK’s Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has allocated £450m to build houses for asylum seekers. The guidance published recently states that local authorities have until 28 March to inform the government about how they intend to use their indicative funding allocation under the scheme. The DLUHC wants to ensure that half of the homes provided through the scheme are new builds to provide 2,400 new homes. Local authorities that agree to use the funding to deliver new homes will receive an additional 10% uplift in the grant provided.
The government is encouraging councils to partner with housing associations to deliver the new homes. Homes England will also provide targeted support to councils with limited housing development experience and networks. The DLUHC has allocated funding to 203 local authorities facing the highest housing pressures.
As of the end of March last year, 8,799 Afghan refugees were living in temporary accommodation. In February last year, Local Government Association data indicated that councils have helped 163,500 Ukrainians settle in the UK, including 47,800 arrivals via the Ukraine Family Scheme and 115,800 arrivals via the Ukraine Sponsorship (Homes for Ukraine) Scheme.
This allocation of funds to asylum seekers is unacceptable since there are millions of struggling Britons who cannot afford accommodation and are at risk of becoming homeless. By prioritizing asylum seekers, the ruling elite has betrayed native Britons.
Such treachery is intolerable, and the way to stop it is by supporting and becoming politically active with the British Democrats, the only serious political party willing to stop this utter madness.

Hundreds of thousands of benefit seekers,not asylum seekers
Good article. Globalist wars cost the West a fortune and have played a significant role in the current migrant crisis. On top of this, you have tens of thousands of pretend “refugees” who be let in just as easily and put in cushy hotels. I would take an educated guess that the organisations mentioned in the above article have Leftist leanings, and will join forces to ensure that these migrants are accommodated. Yet again, Britons are given no say on what is imposed on our nation. Speaking out will result in being branded a “racist”. It’s exactly the same in many European countries.
