The original note implies accommodation is equivalent or similar to council housing - it is not. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jul/lone-children-seeking-uk-asylum-increased-risk-exploitation-home-office-hotels#:~:text=Several%20interviewees%20in%20the%20study,of%20sexual%20abuse%20and%20exploitation. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/children-asylum-seekers-age-assessments-home-office-uk-b1992680.html https://www.refugee-action.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Hostile-Accommodation-Refugee-Action-report.pdf
