The damning case against private providers of housing for asylum seekers
For four years, the Home Office has held a series of contracts with three private providers – #G4S, #Serco and #Clearel – to procure and operate housing for asylum seekers in the #UK. These contracts, known collectively as #COMPASS (Commercial and Operating Managers Procuring Asylum Support), replaced previous arrangements with local authorities, housing associations and private landlords that existed in the decade after powers over asylum housing were centralised in 1999. Today, the COMPASS project has been marred by reports of discord, inefficiency and questionable service practices.
