The right to adequate housing for migrants – factsheets
The right to adequate housing for migrants is a series of thematic factsheets on migrants’ level of access to adequate shelter in different urban contexts. Written by academic researchers and experts solicited by SSIIM UNESCO Chair, the factsheets were aimed at providing background information for the 2010 Report of UN-Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing Dr. Raquel Rolnik. Besides presenting the picture of the overall housing situation of migrants in the concerned contexts, authors were asked to highlight what the conditions of international migrants (regular and undocumented) are with respect to – access to public housing and/or government subsidies – access to housing loans – access to the private housing market (discriminatory attitudes) – inclusion into regularization and land tenure policies (if any, highlighting whether it is a local or a central government policy) Authors were also invited to underline whether differences in policies/attitudes between local (poor) population (including rural-urban migrants) and international migrants are put in place and if any particularly interesting policy is being implemented that could be pointed out as innovative example.
