I am making this request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
(a) The number of Afghan citizens who entered the UK under ACRS or ARAP are living within your county within Government funded bridging accommodation.
Zero, as the government closed its bridging accommodation in Devon in August 2023.
(b) The number of Afghan citizens in your county who entered the UK under ACRS or ARAP have declared themselves as homeless.
I would be grateful if you could provide this information on a month-by-month basis from August 2020 to date. If this breakdown will incur too high costs, then please provide broken down by quarter.
In addition, please provide the following:
(c) What plans are in place to respond to homelessness amongst this cohort, including the use of bridging accommodation.
Devon County Council is not responsible for Refugee Housing and therefore does not hold this information. Refugee Housing is the responsibility of District and Unitary councils in Devon; please contact them directly using the information on the links provided.
