According to Home Office data, only 2,314 asylum seekers were residing in contingency accommodation in the region as of March 2026. This figure is less than half of the 5,652 recorded in December 2023. This decline aligns with national patterns, where asylum seekers housed in hotels have reached their lowest recorded levels.
