'A Place to Live, a Place to Stay: A Good Practice Guide for Housing in Refugee Resettlement' explores how the issue of housing for refugee resettlement can be addressed in a way that ensures cities can offer places for resettled refugees and plan resettlement programmes that enable them to settle, integrate and thrive in their new cities and municipalities. Based on the outcomes of comparative research and consultation with partners and stakeholders of the SHARE Network in 9 European countries, and with input from the 34 practitioners and policymakers that contributed their knowledge and expertise as part of the SHARE Housing Expert Group (follow the link to read a report from the SHARE Expert Seminar and Visit Programme on Housing for Refugee Resettlement at which the Expert Group participated), the publication:
- provides a comparative overview of housing for refugee resettlement in Europe;
- identifies good practice in housing for resettled refugees at the local, regional and national levels across Europe;
- makes recommendations for policy and practice development in the areas of a) national, regional and local cooperation to implement resettlement quotas, b) finding housing for refugee resettlement, and c) housing introduction, integration support and welcoming communities.
- includes case study interviews with a private landlord, municipality housing worker and previously resettled refugee; and
- highlights opportunities for funding housing for resettled refugees presented by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) for 2014-20.
