Immigrants take housing not wanted by others, claims report

摘要

Immigrants often accept accommodation rejected by other people, rather than taking much-needed housing from local residents.The Joseph Rowntree Foundation report, which examined the housing experiences of 39 new immigrants in Sheffield, rejected claims that migrants were taking the best accommodation. Key findings revealed concentrations of new immigrants in particular areas were often the result of migrants moving into neighbourhoods that other households were leaving or avoiding.
