Abstract
The refugee crisis is always a vulnerable topic. Since 2013 there has been a large inflow of mostly Syrian and Eritrean refugees and asylum seekers in the Netherlands. It is difficult to take care of them and make sure that they will be protected, the Syrians against war and the Eritreans against political oppression. Coming, it is important for themselves but especially for the government, that they are able to integrate in the Dutch society. To accommodate housing for all these refugees and asylum seekers is difficult, but this is important for them to be able to integrate. The aim of this research is to see whether there is a relationship between the housing policy and the level of integration. Therefore, the following central question is answered: What is the relation between housing policy and integration of refugees and asylum seekers in the municipality of Groningen? To give an answer on this question, qualitative data is being used in the form of in-depth interviews. These interviews are held with some of the many organisations that help and deal with refugees and asylum seekers, furthermore one interview is held with the municipality of Groningen. These interviews resulted in the following: refugees and asylum seekers are widely distributed in the city of Groningen, however they are mostly located in the Korrewegwijk, Selwerd and Paddepoel, so they live close to each other. Refugees and asylum seekers are to a certain extent successfully integrated in the aspect of social capital and knowing the Dutch language, however there is only a small amount that has a job. The relations between housing policy and the level of integration can be seen as followed: housing policy influences the level of integrations, this is because of initiatives from the neighbourhood and contact with the neighbourhood.
