Finding Housing, Making Home: Romanian Migrants in Post-Brexit/Post-Covid UK

That the Parliament welcomes the recent report from the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence, entitled Finding housing, making home: Romanian migrants in post-Brexit/post-Covid UK; understands that this report is the work of researchers from the universities of Glasgow and Bucharest; further understands that the report focuses on the experience of Romanian migrants, who comprise one of the least studied, most recent and second-largest European migrant groups in the UK; notes with concern the report’s finding that many migrants have experienced precarious conditions on arrival and difficulty in achieving their longing for integration into British society; further notes with particular concern that several respondents experienced a direct increase in xenophobia, racism and migrant stigmatisation following Brexit, and commends the report’s recommendations for greater awareness of the housing regulatory framework, including both cultural and linguistic translation, and for the need to dismantle modes of institutional discrimination that seek to, as the report says, "control migration through every day life".
