PIEMONTESE, Stefano  and  BELUSCHI-FABENI, Giuseppe. Between social organization and public policies: Housing patterns of Romanian Roma families in Granada. Sociologia [online]. 2014, n.tematico4, pp.153-173. ISSN 0872-3419.

This article focuses on the patterns of access to housing among Romanian Roma in the city of Granada between 2001 and 2011. It analyses how these patterns result from the interaction between the strategies and the needs of each family network, and the ways in which public authorities manage those benefits that, at least ideally, aim to ensure the right to housing. The main conclusion is that welfare and housing- related projects are more effective when they move from a deep knowledge of the socio-cultural characteristics of their beneficiaries, as well as when they consider their housing patterns as expressions of social needs

Keywords : housing policies; Roma migration; social services.
