Description

The aim of the project is to advance system approach to homelessness in the CR, approved by key stakeholders. 83 000 people including 20 000 children live in acute housing need in the county. In 2019 we developed a complex homelessness legislation in a coalition of experts, and now we plan to present it in the parliament. Our strategy includes coalition building (MPs, local politicians, experts and interest groups), works with the vocal opponents (repressive cities), and provides legal, media and analytic support. If the complex bill fails we will advocate piece by piece.
