🔊🎙️ Why is viewing housing discrimination through an intersectional lens essential? How do individuals with migratory backgrounds navigate housing challenges in cities? Are there best practices, tools, and strategies that can improve and facilitate their housing access? . Tune in to our latest podcast episode, "𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝗩𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲𝘀: 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀’ 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴” to find out! . ▶ Listen on YouTube here: https://lnkd.in/d5t-58PU ᯤ Listen on Spotify here: https://lnkd.in/dj8kimBp . While every individual with a migratory background may encounter housing discrimination, their experiences can differ widely due to factors beyond ethnicity. Gender, age, religion, household composition, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity can significantly influence their housing access and integration into cities and communities. In this episode, we hear directly from individuals with migratory backgrounds to explore these factors and their impact on housing access. By listening to their voices along with expert insights, we discuss why an intersectional approach to housing discrimination is essential, learn about the resilience strategies they use to access housing, and discuss tools and strategies to improve and facilitate their housing access and integration.  . ➡️Listen now and stay tuned for our next episode, “Does Housing Discrimination ALWAYS Stem from a Discriminatory Mindset?” on the “Opening the Door” podcast!  .  #HousingDiscrimination #EuropeanUnion #HousingAccess #HousingInclusion #Housing #EUProject #Europe #Turin #Italy #Malta #Thessaloniki #Greece . .

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝘂𝘁! Greece is one of the primary entry points to the EU for migrants from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Thessaloniki, the capital of the Region of Central Macedonia in northern Greece, experienced a significant change in its migration landscape after 2015 due to increased refugee arrivals towards Europe. Being at the eastern edge of Europe, Greece serves as a transit country for many migrants and refugees aiming to reach countries further west. In 2021, according to ELSTAT, the migrant population in Greece was 7.3% of the total population while the 2011 census indicated that the foreign population living in the Regional Unit of Thessaloniki was 6.3% of the total population. Like many other cities in Southern Europe, Thessaloniki shares critical elements in its housing condition: the existing housing systems encourage home ownership rather than renting and have a limited public and social housing sector, and in the case of Greece none. This increases the dependence of vulnerable populations, such as people with a migratory background, on the private housing market, and particularly rental, impacting their effective inclusion and integration into the city. At Come HoMe, we have conducted research and collected data to understand the housing access challenges faced by individuals with a migratory background. Our focus has been on their experiences with housing discrimination and identifying other obstacles they encounter when seeking a home.
