Housing
Residents who receive a positive decision find it increasingly difficult to find their place in the - already saturated - housing market. The search for a home is often difficult, which also limits the departures from the reception centres. That is why Fedasil's new Housing team, together with partners, is looking for solutions to address housing challenges.
