Housing Refugees Programma 2015

The IFHP Housing Refugee Programme has in 2015 opened the discussion on how to provide adequate housing for refugees as the migrant “crisis” in Europe continues to divide political and societal opinions. Utalising IFHP member expertise, initial steps have been taken to formulate policy considerations for use by the wider housing and planning community. These steps have included an investigation into how exactly European nations currently house refugees, both on a temporary and permanent basis, a two day lab event in Deventer, Netherlands and presentation and feedback sessions in both Rotterdam and Berlin.
