Croydon braced for cash blow over unaccompanied asylum kids

摘要

Croydon LBC is heading for another financial hit this year as a result of a funding shortfall to support unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC). Officers have forecast a £9.4m deficit in costs relating to support for UASC and people with no recourse to public funds 'due to insufficient funding from the Home Office,' according to the council's latest financial monitoring report.
