Snapshot on the Situation of Roma in Europe: Housing and Assistance for the Homeless
Our Snapshots on the Situation of Roma in Europe are a series of reader-friendly, visually attractive handouts, linking each of the 20 policy principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights to Roma rights and inclusion. Each Snapshot includes key statistics, a brief problem statement, and extensive policy recommendations.
Many Roma across Europe live in de facto homelessness, or in insecure or substandard housing, in segregated informal settlements that lack access to services and pose environmental hazards. Widespread antigypsyism from all housing actors (landlords, sellers, banks, neighbours etc), ever-rising housing and utility costs, insufficient access to social housing, and forced evictions prevent them from accessing an adequate standard of living.
