This study, which is one in a series of thematic reports, follows two previous papers released based on assessment findings where sector-specific needs of self-settled Syrian refugees living in northern Jordan were mapped and identified.16 The overall assessment, conducted from August 2013 to March 2014, concentrated on the dynamics of refugee-host community relations and explored the factors influencing tension and destabilization. This report has a special focus on tensions relating to access to housing in the 160 host communities assessed across the governorates of Ajloun, Balqa, Irbid, Jarash, Al Mafraq, and Zarqa in northern Jordan.
