Labour’s plan to pay landlords to house Channel migrants could soon see thousands of properties taken up across 120 different communities, a newly revealed list shows. Serco, the company handling asylum accommodation, is now calling on landlords, investors, and property agents across the North West, Midlands, and East of England to lease homes to them for more than five years.
In their promotional material, Serco proudly states it already manages over 30,000 asylum seekers in what it describes as an “ever-growing” portfolio of more than 7,000 properties. But despite councils already feeling stretched to breaking point by the Channel migrant crisis, Serco is still looking to expand, reported the Express.
