Problems related to providing housing for refugees:
Challenges
1- Lack of Suitable Housing:
Asylum seekers often struggle with a shortage of housing options in their host countries. This can result in unsafe or unstable living conditions, worsening the difficulties they already face.

Some face barriers due to legal restrictions on renting to immigrants and refugees.
3- High Cost of Housing:
Exorbitant housing costs in certain areas pose significant barriers to securing housing.
