Abstract
Municipalities are struggling to facilitate a fair, safe and healthy working and living situation for migrant workers. Short-term labour migrants live in regular houses, which has a major impact on social cohesion and increases nuisance. The municipality of Horst aan de Maas wants to combat this so-called skewed housing and is considering building and operating its own housing project, but does not know how it can use its instruments to achieve their goals. There is a need for an in-depth study that provides a thorough and nuanced insight into what municipalities can do about this housing problem. In this master's thesis, I investigate how the municipality of Horst aan de Maas can use its policy instruments in order to initiate its own labour migrants housing project and combat skewed housing in regular homes. This possible approach is explained in a qualitative way, based on desktop research and stakeholder interviews. Different categorizations of policy instruments from the literature are combined to organise the results of this research in a comprehensive overview.
