From Asylum Housing to Global Housing Management
Marinating the condition of Property and Housing
According to the news G4S and Serco Corporation were summoned by the Home Affairs Committee to the office and inquired about certain matters related to asylum housing. The inquiry was carried out because of the multiple reports regarding the shabby conditions of the housing and ill management of the property leading to inability to maintaining the condition of the property and housing. The complaints and inquiries are more about the major areas related to the properties and asylum houses maintained by G4S in areas of Midlands, East of England, Yorkshire and the North East. Total number of 11,000 asylum seekers resides in the accommodation managed by G4S.
The contract between the Home Office and G4S amounting to £1.7 billion for the five years, makes it the second largest contract given out by the Home Office. The housing project is completely outsourced by the Home Office and has its entire funding from the taxpayers. The rent is directly paid to the landlord owning the property under the compulsion of the contract signed. Till the month of June the property contracts for the provision of asylum housing were coordinated by the local authorities who also provided a specific part of the housing stock to the landlords for asylum purpose. The mishandling of the properties and asylum seeking families has been reported being threatened and have faced invasion of privacy. According to the news the complete detailed reports regarding the matters reported about the G4S asylum housing in the areas of Yorkshire, and Northeast have been presented to the committee in briefings and also in the documented format. Home Office has reported to spend a huge amount of this project of asylum housing and the respective authorities do not appropriately manage services provided as the result of this.
According to all the reports conducted and presented, G4S had some loopholes in its performance and had given the hiring of the staff on contract which they took back because this was the prime reason of the decline in performance. According to the recent reports the performance of G4S has improved to a greater level and has been reported as satisfactory by the authorities inspecting the accommodation. Even if the matters are being resolved, the matter remains the same as the taxpayers need to decide if they are willing to see their tax money being directed to the organizations like G4S, Serco and Capita/Clearel for the next five years and they provide the same substandard accommodation facilities to the asylum houses. The Home Office need to look into the matters and decide the future planning instead of pumping the funding from the taxpayers to the organizations which cannot manage their duties or to finance such organizations that have experience and are eager about performing the best in limited resources to provide enhanced Asylum accommodation to the homeless old age people.
