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.
