A new housing portal to match councils with private landlords who have suitable properties to house Afghan families has been relaunched by the Government.

The portal will allow landlords to put forward offers of accommodation for families evacuated from Afghanistan.

The accommodation must be self-contained with no shared facilities, available for at least 12 months, and meet safety regulations and landlord responsibilities.

Minister for Afghan resettlement Victoria Atkins said: 'We know these families need a place of their own so they can truly build a life in the UK, but we recognise that finding settled accommodation for so many people is a challenge.

'That is why today I am urging landlords to join our efforts and come forward with offers of housing so we can help these people settle and thrive.'
