Factsheet, English, 5 pages
Summary
The newly build Social House in Supportive Environment accommodated twenty six vulnerable people, including sixteen refugees and ten local people. All of them were living for decades in collective center (former old hotel, destroyed, without water, sewerage and heating systems) and temporary shelters (metal bunkers, garages, without elementary sanitary conditions). A family of six persons is also living in the social house, helping to create a “supporting environment” in the house. Soon after the relocation to the building, all beneficiaries mentioned “significant changes” in their life and social situation.
