This population resides in practically all Spanish neighborhoods and municipalities, although they tend to concentrate in areas of cheap and degraded housing that end up being stigmatized by the native population. Immigrants find it particularly difficult to access decent housing, mainly because of their precarious economic situation, the absence of effective public policies, and racist attitudes on the part of homeowners and tenants. Regarding this last point, we propose an analysis based on three stages for/levels of the study of social exclusion: the State, the market and civil society (macro, meso and micro) in order to observe the influence that each of these agents has on the fulfillment of the human right to housing experienced by the immigrant collective in Spain.Received: 02 February 2022Accepted: 31 May 2022 ER -
