Migration and the right to adequate housing 2010, para. 53
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Undocumented migrants are also often lodged by family members or rely on diaspora networks for housing. Families often feel the obligation to host migrants from their own countries, even if they lack the space or facilities for them. When none of those alternatives is possible, migrants are left on the streets and need to be accommodated in shelters for homeless people. As space in the shelters is often limited, conflicts have emerged between national and non-national homeless people. In some countries, public shelters do not accommodate undocumented migrants, while others provide such opportunities for one or two nights only.
