The Home Office's trial will extend the move-on period for newly recognised refugees from 28 to 56 days, addressing rising rates of homelessness.
The changes, hailed as a significant step by charities, will allow refugees more time to secure housing before facing eviction from asylum accommodation.
Veteran Labour peer Alf Dubs emphasized the need for the change to become permanent, highlighting its potential to mitigate refugee homelessness.
Ruth Lister acknowledged the welcome nature of the announcement, yet insisted the extended period is a temporary solution to a longstanding issue.
