What the project is for

Asylum Accommodation Programme (AAP) increases the availability of safe and compliant asylum accommodation to meet statutory demand and reduce reliance on contingency hotel use. It will support a managed transition away from hotels, in line with the Government’s wider policy commitments.

Departmental delivery commentary

Compared with Q4 2024/25, the NISTA/SRO Delivery Confidence Assessment (DCA) rating at Q4 2025/26 remains Amber. This reflects broadly stable progress against the delivery plan, alongside ongoing dependencies and approvals. Progress remains in line with plans, with the surveys required to inform site planning and delivery now commissioned. As the programme progresses, timely approval across multiple sites will be a key factor in maintaining delivery momentum and achieving planned outcomes.
