This thought-provoking book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of refugee housing across Europe. Esteemed scholars bridge the knowledge gap between the broader immigrant integration process and refugee housing, examining different approaches to organization, funding, policy, and administration within various multi-level governance systems.This book sheds light on how different European countries have addressed the challenges surrounding the increase in housing demand in the wake of significant refugee influxes, including the 2015 refugee crisis and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Contributors evaluate the effectiveness of New Public Management and multi-dimensional governance systems in refugee housing provision, offering insights into diverse approaches to this pressing challenge within European welfare frameworks. Ultimately, the book highlights the importance of housing as both a fundamental human need and an economic asset and functions as a crucial marker for successful integration of refugees into their host communities.Refugee Housing in Europe is an invaluable resource for academics and students researching immigrant integration across the social sciences. It also provides vital insights for stakeholders dealing with immigrant integration and practitioners in the EU administration and at national, regional and local levels.

‘In a time of growing number of those seeking protection from war, oppression, and violence, running parallel to profound disparities in accessing the housing market, this is an opportune book for scholars, policymakers and students in the fields of rural studies, regional planning and social sciences. Bringing together a group of distinguished and emerging researchers, this book brings valuable insights to understand the complexities and challenges of housing arrangements for refugees in 11 European countries. Offering a comprehensive view of the interplay between public, private, and non-governmental actors it shows that a holistic understanding of housing for refugees is a complex issue involving integration into the community besides a material shelter.’
