Paragraph
Paragraph text
As a result of restricted access to public and private housing, migrant workers sometimes resort to living in substandard apartments or rooms, as well as in informal settlements on the outskirts of the city, without access to essential services or facilities. When finding their own accommodation is not possible, migrants are housed by their relatives, friends and co-nationals.
