The social inclusion of immigrants and ethnic minorities is a central
issue in many European countries. Governments face challenges in ensuring
housing for immigrants, delivering public services, promoting neighbourhood
coexistence and addressing residential segregation. The Building Inclusion
project, sponsored by the European Commission, enables EU member states to
exchange experiences relating to the social inclusion of vulnerable groups.
Its special focus is on housing access and housing policy.
The Netherlands has seen many different types of migration since World
War II. Each ethnic group has arrived in different cultural, economic and
political contexts. Building Inclusion: Housing and Integration
of Ethnic Minorities in the Netherlands describes those groups and
contexts. It reviews the policy measures taken to respond to the immigrants'
immediate housing needs and to foster their social integration.
