Migrant workers are much more likely to be homeless in the Netherlands

According to a study by the research institute Ivo and the Barka Foundation, due to the precarious situation of migrant workers they face an increased risk of homelessness in the Netherlands and then regression to mental health and substance abuse problems.
As reported by Trouw, the researchers said the problems faced by many migrant workers appear to be a direct result of how the Dutch government deals with them.

In creating their report, the researchers spoke with 33 migrant workers from Central and Eastern Europe in the Netherlands, 23 migrants who had returned to Poland and Romania, as well as dozens of experts from reception organizations and municipalities.
They also studied thousands of records from organizations that assist homeless immigrants. The study was commissioned by three ministries and six municipalities.
It is worth noting that the list of reasons why migrant workers are more vulnerable to homelessness is very long. For them, losing a job often means losing housing and other arrangements such as health insurance companies.

Migrant workers often do not speak Dutch well. They are often unfamiliar with legislation, social assistance, and the health care system. They usually have a small social network that they can turn to for support.
