Policy measures to ensure access to decent housing for migrants and ethnic minorities

The aim of the study is to analyse and identify the most effective policy measures to ensure access to decent housing for immigrants. The study will stress the specific features and similarities of approaches adopted with regard to this group compared with the more general situation of persons suffering poverty and social exclusion as well as any discrimination suffered in terms of access to housing. The study will also consider trends that can be identified concerning the situation of persons born to first-generation immigrants compared with that of immigrants who have lived in a country for longer.
