- In Italy, asylum seekers and refugees are initially housed in ‘extraordinary reception centres’ (CAS) and then moved into the SPRAR network, a form of integrated reception, made up of projects that collaborate with the third sector, private sector and local authorities, and which includes labour market initiatives. Launched its launch in 2002, the ‘SPRAR model’ - currently in the midst of substantial reform - relies on a network of local authorities that have access to the National Fund for Asylum Policies and Services (FNPSA). This policy briefing relies on rigorous and qualitative research with stakeholders in Calabria to study approaches to housing governance of asylum seekers and refugees, to analyse their approach and impact in collaboration with decentralised1 . Our study of the refugee reception system in Italy details emerging systems of refugee co-responsibility between local and national agencies, at the local and urban level. This responds to the needs of recipients and leads to differing outcomes depending on the implementation strategies of the host projects. Much of the development comes from the work and skills of social workers who have also given much attention to the personal and professional peculiarities of refugees through the organisation of special support services.
