This paper deals with housing trajectories and fighting to find a home among undocumented women who have migrated alone to the Paris region. It sheds light on the social differentiation between these women, their housing trajectories and their desires for a home. Factors regarding gender, class and “race” are shown to intermingle daily in and through the home to help define the social position of these women.
