Councillors have been warned that refugees fleeing Russia's invasion of Ukraine could face a huge homelessness problem in the near future.
More than 260 Ukrainian refugees arrived in Newcastle after leaving their war-torn country earlier this year, and have been living with sponsor families and individuals in the city.
However, homeowners were asked to commit housing the refugees for six months - and that time has almost passed, leading to fears some families may be left without a place to stay when the commitment ends.
