This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Kim Long:- "Glasgow City Council condemns the hostile environment policies of the UK Home Office which deliberately result in vulnerable people being made homeless and destitute with inadequate legal support and advocacy. Council believes that the eviction of asylum seekers from Home Office accommodation is a shameful practice that causes unnecessary and acute physical and mental harm for individuals, and believes this process should not be facilitated by the Council. Council rejects the notion of a 'failed' asylum seeker and instead declares that all people seeking asylum are being failed by a system that makes it nearly impossible to win. Given the high rate of successful appeals against Home Office decisions, it is imperative that people have housing and subsistence support to provide dignity whilst pursuing their legal case. Given the imminent risk of homelessness for a large number of asylum seekers, and to meet recommendation 5 of the final recommendations of the national Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Action Group, Council agrees to support third sector, legal and other advocacy organisations to develop a joint proposal for a pilot project in Glasgow to provide emergency accommodation for destitute migrants who are not entitled to statutory homelessness assistance, provided alongside access to advocacy, immigration and legal advice. Council instructs the Leader to write to the Scottish Minister to request financial backing for this pilot project.".
