The project “Inclusive Housing” aims to deal with the obstacles refugees but also other disadvantaged groups in the context of urban migration are facing in terms of access to long-term housing. The project partners from Austria, Germany and Sweden share their extensive expertise in the field of migration, integration and potentials of the housing market. By focusing on three topics –“housing market”, “housing governance” and “special types of housing”, the consortium aims to present in detail challenges for refugees with regard to housing. In cooperation with local stakeholders, the consortium will elaborate housing policies and practices to enhance the housing situation and access to housing.

Working closely with key stakeholders from municipalities and housing market actors, the project developed recommendations for future housing policies and practices. The aim was to enhance the housing situation for refugees and other marginalized groups in the context of urban migration.
