| Qualitative Info |
Among all migrant or minority groups in Slovenia Roma community has most difficulties accessing housing of an acceptable quality. There are several barriers which prevent them to do so: lack of legal basis for their houses or huts in Roma settlements which the municipalities use to justify their lack of right to access water, electricity and waste management infrastructure; barriers to access non-profit rented housing due to lack of information, biased attitudes and discriminatory criteria for allocation; and exclusion practices blocking the Roma families to buy or rent real estate outside of Roma settlements.
