💨 Abstract

In September 2025, the number of asylum seekers housed in hotels increased by 4,232 compared to June 2025, totaling 36,273. This marks a 13% rise over the summer. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood attributed the increase to the pressure on local communities due to the scale of migration and announced reforms to ensure migrants contribute more than they receive. The current figures are not specified.
