Abstract: <\/strong><\/p>\n

“The housing situation of refugees and asylum seekers has recently attracted political
\nattention due to the shortage of appropriate accommodation and the increased use of
\nunderground bunkers as a temporary solution. Asylum migrants encounter many
\nobstacles in accessing the private sector of the housing market; thus, local authorities
\nplay an active role in shaping opportunities for social inclusion. Using the Swiss
\npopulation register (2012-2019) for complete cohorts of asylum migrants, this study
\nanalyses the transitions from collective (communal) centres to private housing from the
\ndeposition of an asylum claim and during the first eight years in the country. Cox models
\nfor interval-censored data show the association between individual and contextual
\nfactors and the speed of access to private housing. Despite the quasi-autonomous
\nmanagement of refugee housing by region (cantons), priority rules regarding access to
\nprivate housing were found to apply across the country. When choosing between
\ndifferent profiles, women, older asylum migrants, married individuals, and members of
\nlarger national groups are favoured in obtaining access to private housing. Nevertheless,
\nthe time spent in collective centres largely depends on the region to which a claimant is
\nassigned, pointing to the minimal agency asylum migrants have during their first years
\nof residence. Focusing on the early stages of the residential trajectory of asylum migrants
\nthis study provides insights into the logistics of housing attribution and different rationales
\ngoverning these procedures.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
