Summary report - The State of Roma and Traveller Housing in the European Union

The aim of this report is to provide a summary overview of the current situation of Roma and Traveller housing in the EU, bringing together some findings from the FRA’s published report on Roma and Traveller housing and data from EU- MIDIS.

During the Brussels Roundtable, where this research was publicly launched stakeholders pointed out that while many Member States have recognised the need to adopt Roma-specific initiatives for improving housing conditions, including the residential inclusion of Roma, action is lacking behind. In this context the present report also presents some of the proposals5 made by stakeholders on further steps that could be taken in this respect.
