The silly, unfortunately I can't imagine NASS accommodation is going to be of decent standard's.
I know booking out nice hotels wouldn't be sustainable longer term but surely in the short term, preferable whilst people adjust to their New surroundings
And get used to the shock, process what's happened.
NASS accommodation in some areas are nice, flats, houses fully furnished and in good condition in my area. The building is owned by the home office and it's generally kept to the same standard as social housing stock in the area.
Problem we used to have is families would live in NASS for like 3 years, children settled in schools in the local area and then, the day their asylum was granted they were evicted and moved in to B&b's or local authority temporary accommodation and then that was a shock whilst they awaited placement on social housing along with many other people. Contrary to popular belief they don't get "more points" or anything, on the list the same as everyone else.
I once supported a Afghan family who had.come from NASS and I was heartbroken at their story to get here.
In the UK right now though, it's family members wanting to bring them in and house them, so I have no idea why the home office is dragging its feet! They don't need housing provision, it's sorted. Just grant them a quick entry visa and let family care for them. I really can not fathom why the UK is being so pedantic and slow about this!
