SAFE HOMES,
NOT HOTELS.

Safe Homes, Not Hotels is a campaign led by LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers, fighting for safe, dignified housing instead of dangerous hotel accommodation. Private companies are currently profiting millions of pounds each year from taxpayer-funded Home Office contracts, while keeping asylum seekers in squalid and unsafe conditions.
In April 2025, we published a report into the real experiences of people living in initial accommodation hotels, including sexual violence, malnutrition, racist and homophobic abuse. The report highlights the dangers of hotel-based asylum accommodation, with a particular focus on the experiences of LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers.
We are now calling for the government to take immediate action.
Our July 2025 Open Letter to the Home Secretary, co-signed by 62 organisations working with asylum seekers and refugees across the UK and over 13,750 members of the public, provides a blueprint for asylum accommodation and community hosting that is safe and fair, saves taxpayer money and calls for social investment in the housing for all.
We need Safe Homes, Not Hotels.
