"The Assembly reminds member States of their obligations under the European Social Charter (revised) to provide adequate housing to all persons regularly residing on their territory, and at the very least to provide shelter for all others. To fulfil these obligations in practice, it urgently calls on member States to:
- increase the number of available places in reception accommodation and include contingency planning, so that every person seeking asylum and every unaccompanied minor can be adequately housed;
- refrain from accommodating asylum seekers and unaccompanied minors in unsuitable facilities such as (de facto) detention sites and military facilities;
- ensure independent monitoring of reception facilities, with accessible complaint procedures, as recommended in Resolution 2613 (2025) “The challenges and needs of public and private actors involved in migration management”;
- support refugees leaving reception centres, people leaving immigration detention centres, and unaccompanied minors leaving care facilities, in moving into independent housing within the local community. This should be accompanied by sufficient timeframes for leaving institutional settings;
- ensure that housing support services are not required to report persons in an irregular situation to immigration enforcement authorities, and that information collected to support access to adequate housing is not used for immigration control."
