Homeless and hopeless - An assessment of the housing situation of asylum applicants and beneficiaries of international protection in Greece

This report was created as part of the project: Do the human right thing - Raising our Voice for Refugee Rights; implemented under the programme Active Citizens Fund. It is the first of three reports in this series and covers access to housing for beneficiaries and applicants of international protection. The second and third report, both of which will be published in 2022, will respectively focus on access to employment, and access to healthcare for these groups.

The aim of this report is to highlight the issues faced by asylum seekers and refugees in Greece in accessing decent housing conditions, from the point of view of the universal right to adequate housing. The report is divided into two main sections: the first focuses on the legal framework, while the second assesses the housing conditions of the population concerned.
