Roma Access to Quality and Affordable Housing in Albania

Roma access to quality and affordable housing in Albania

Over the past decade, the Albanian Government has redoubled its efforts to enhance the quality of life and integrate the Roma and Egyptian minority communities into Albanian society. This commitment extends beyond endorsing international agreements safeguarding fundamental human rights. The legal framework has been aligned with European standards, a requisite stemming from Albania’s candidacy for EU membership.

Substandard housing conditions are prone to exposure to cold temperatures, especially during winter. Inadequate insulation, poorly constructed buildings, or lack of heating contribute to this. Mold and humidity are common problems in poorly constructed or poorly maintained housing. Many Roma families may face overcrowded living conditions due to factors like limited access to affordable housing, economic constraints, and large family sizes. This can lead to compromised privacy and an increased risk of disease transmission.
