They frequently encounter barriers such as language difficulties, discrimination, lack of legal status or documentation, and limited knowledge of local housing markets and tenants’ rights. As a result, many end up in overcrowded, unsafe, or exploitative living conditions. This situation not only harms individual well-being but also hinders integration, social cohesion, and public health.</p><h3><strong>What should be done?</strong></h3><p>The EU and its member states should establish mentorship programs on housing for migrants, providing personalized guidance and practical support in navigating local housing systems. These mentorships could connect migrants with trained volunteers, local NGOs, or social workers who help them:</p><ul>\n<li><p>Understand tenants’ rights and responsibilities</p></li>\n<li><p>Identify legitimate rental opportunities</p></li>\n<li><p>Avoid exploitation and fraud</p></li>\n<li><p>Learn how to access public or social housing options</p></li>\n<li><p>Develop budgeting and financial management skills related to housing</p></li>\n</ul><p>Such programs should be accessible to both regular and irregular migrants, ensuring inclusivity and reducing risks of homelessness and marginalization.</p><h3><strong>Who should act?</strong></h3><p>The European Commission should support this initiative through funding under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and by issuing guidance on best practices. National governments should implement the mentorship programs in cooperation with local authorities, civil society organizations, and migrant associations, ensuring that programs are adapted to local contexts and housing markets.</p><h3><strong>What impact will it have?</strong></h3><p>This initiative will promote fair access to housing, reduce homelessness and exploitation among migrants, and foster social inclusion. By empowering migrants with knowledge and support, the program will enhance their independence and contribute to stronger, more cohesive communities. In the long term, improved housing stability can also lead to better employment outcomes, improved health, and reduced pressure on emergency housing services - benefiting both migrants and host societies.</p>","fr":"","pt":""},"title":{"de":"","el":"","en":"Mentorship Housing Schemes for Migrants ","fr":"","pt":""}}
