Consultation on the draft publication "Housing Migrants in the UNECE region: Challenges and Practices"

13 June 2019
Palais des Nations Geneva Switzerland

Time and venue: 9:30 - 17:30 | Conference Room XXVII | Palais des Nations, Geneva

Language: English only

The UNECE Committee on Urban Development, Housing and Land Management, in line with a request to prepare a study on how countries are addressing the migration crisis through the provision of affordable housing (Report of the 77th session of the Committee - ECE/HBP/184, para. 32), developed the draft publication "Housing Migrants in the UNECE region: Challenges and Practices".  Through an analysis of the issue and a compendium of best practices, the study illustrates that the provision of housing for migrants can positively impact both housing and integration challenges.

This consultation on the draft publication will provide an opportunity for participants to review the current text as well as propose new case studies.
