Asylum dispersal grants
This Asylum Dispersal Grant will support local authorities through an initial one off payment. This is followed by a further quarterly payment if there has been a growth in occupancy levels.
The Asylum Grant Funding Instruction for Local Authorities 2025 – 2026 on GOV.UK sets out the terms under which the Home Office will make funding available to Councils in England, Wales, and Scotland between 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 to assist with their costs of supporting Asylum Seekers under Full Asylum Dispersal.
