政府明确将住房确定为其难民融合战略的一个关键方面，目标是协助新移民获得体面、安全、可靠和负担得起的住房。然而，有证据表明，许多寻求庇护者和难民的住房被剥夺和不安全。住房"一体化"的确切含义、它能够和应该实现的目标以及如何衡量一体化的进展情况都是不确定的，有时还存在争议。在五个英国地方的定性研究，探讨了当地的住房供应商和社区发展工作者认为是成功的住房整合的先决条件。讨论的重点是入职过程，持续的支持，对新难民的"继续前进"支持，以及打击种族主义骚扰的必要性。该文件的结论是，尽管有良好的意愿和一些本地化的成功，仍然有许多障碍，难民住房融合，这是由于在提供，选择和支持的多重差距。
The government has explicitly identified housing as a key dimension of its strategy for refugee integration, the goal being to assist new migrants to access decent, safe, secure and affordable accommodation. Yet the evidence suggests that many asylum seekers and refugees experience housing deprivation and insecurity. The precise meaning of housing ‘integration’, what it can and should achieve, and how progress towards integration can be measured is uncertain and sometimes contested terrain. Drawing on qualitative research across five English localities, the paper explores what local housing providers and community development workers feel are the prerequisites for successful housing integration. The discussion focuses on the induction process, on-going support, ‘move-on’ support for new refugees, and the need to combat racist harassment. The paper concludes that despite good intentions and some localised successes, there are still many obstacles to refugee housing integration, which arise from multiple gaps in provision, choice and support.
