Immigration and homelessness in Europe

Bill Edgar (Joint Centre for Scottish Housing Research, School of Town and Regional Planning, University of Dundee),Joe Doherty (School of Geography and Geosciences, University of St Andrews),Henk Meert (Institute for Social and Economic Geography, Catholic University of Leuven)

Drawing on the national reports of the correspondents of the European Observatory on Homelessness, the book provides a comparative analysis, identifying the commonalities and differences across fifteen member states of the EU. Specifically, the book assesses the impact of recent changes in European housing markets, especially their commodification and privatisation; examines how immigrants’ vulnerability to homelessness is reflected in their legal status and explores the effect that growing numbers of migrants and their changing demographics have had on providers of homelessness services in Europe. Immigration and homelessness in Europe is essential reading for policy makers, service providers, social workers, researchers and students of housing and housing policy.
