Number of people receiving local authority section 4 support
Section 4 support is available when an asylum application has been finally determined as refused but they are destitute and there are reasons that temporarily prevent them from leaving the UK.Section 4 regulations require all recipients be accommodated. All Section 4 recipients are shown in the tables as within Dispersed accommodation;. However, since March 2020, where dispersed accommodation was not available some individuals in receipt of Section 4 support have been housed in contingency hotels to prevent destitution.
Figures reflect the number of people in receipt of support as at the end of the period, rather than the total supported throughout the period
The number of people in receipt of support changes daily. The numbers reported represent the total population at period end and does not represent all individuals who have been in receipt of support during the period.
