Housing solutions for 5 more families

Yesterday, in Cacak, contracts for the purchase and sale of 5 more houses were signed as part of the “European Union Support for Social Housing and Active Inclusion” program. All 5 beneficiaries provided with housing solutions are women, and housing problem is solved for 21 people, of which 12 are children.

In the previous period, as part of the same project, a building was built in the settlement of Obrez, where 12 families recently moved in, and since the beginning of the project, a total of 14 houses have been purchased and 12 renovated, whose owners have family members who are disabled, victims of domestic violence , Roma, youth exiting social welfare institutions or foster families, or the local socially vulnerable population.

Through this project alone, the housing issue of a total of 38 families, which have 112 members, of which 45 are children, has been solved for now.

By the end of the project, we expect the renovation of 6 more houses. In addition to housing support, everyone involved in the program also receives support in the form of furniture and appliances, vocational training, business start-up grants, psycho-social support, preventive medical examinations, legal aid and other types of social inclusion support.
