The cost of caring for refugee children will lead to higher council tax bills or service cuts unless more money is provided, ministers have been warned.
A scheme to resettle unaccompanied children around the UK starts in July.
The government has agreed to take in more child refugees, including from the EU and 3,000 children and relatives from the Middle East and North Africa.
The Local Government Association says the number of spaces councils will make available will depend on funding.
At the moment children are looked after where they arrive, largely in Kent or near Heathrow airport.
Deportation failure 'casts doubt' on EU say MPspublished at 06:50 British Summer Time 3 June 2016
The failure to deport 13,000 foreign criminals - equivalent to a "small town" - will lead people to "question the point" of the UK remaining in the EU, the Home Affairs Committee says, external.
It was "deeply concerning" that 5,789 overseas criminals were free in the UK, more than anytime since 2012, MPs said.
The top three nationalities among the offenders were Polish, Irish and Romanian - all EU nations - they said.
The Home Office said it deported record numbers of EU criminals last year but the cross-party committee said progress has been "too slow".
Norman Smith: PM faced 'hostile audience'published at 06:42 British Summer Time 3 June 2016

Assistant political editor
Reflecting on last night's occasion, the BBC's Norman Smith tells Today the PM faced a "pretty hostile audience" and, despite his efforts to focus his message on the economy, was accused of scaremongering about the risks of Brexit.
While on many occasions in the past the PM has been able to win over people with his "self-deprecating, reasonable style", his impression was that he struggled to do that and many people in the room were "determined to have a go at him". In that sense, he said it was reminiscent of the "final days of Tony Blair".
However, he says we have yet to see how the audience will react when Michael Gove takes the stage to make the case for Leave later this evening.

Speaking to journalists during campaigning in Lancashire, Mr Gove said he was hoping "to paint a positive picture" of life outside the European Union and his main argument would be that it was time to "take back control."
