The government is set to confirm plans to end the use of 50 hotels to house migrants by January.
In March, the BBC learned around 400 hotels were being used to house record numbers of asylum seekers.
On Tuesday, Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick will announce plans to start terminating hotel contracts that are costing the taxpayer £8m a day.
Ministers have frequently criticised the cost, promising to reduce the government's reliance on hotels.
