The European Migration Network was established via Council Decision 2008/381/EC and is financially supported by the European Union.

Its objective is to meet the information needs of EU institutions and of Member States’ authorities and institutions by providing up-to-date, objective, reliable and comparable information on migration and asylum, to support policymaking in the European Union in these areas.

The EMN also serves to provide the general public with such information.

Alternatives to providing housing in-kind for applicants for international protection

This report analyses alternatives to housing in kind for applicants for international protection in the Member States of the European Union. In particular, it examines the use of financial allowances, rent subsidies, and mixed models as potential substitutes for or complements to traditional reception systems.

It also assesses the impact of these alternatives on beneficiaries’ autonomy and integration, as well as on the efficiency and sustainability of reception systems. In addition, the report identifies key challenges in their implementation and highlights good practices, with the aim of supporting the development of more effective, flexible, and applicant-centred policies.
