Report from the round table ''Impact of COVID-19 on the social inclusion of vulnerable groups''

The participants of the round table "Impact of Covid-19 on social inclusion of vulnerable groups", held on 29 October 2020, discussed the challenges faced by members of the Roma community, children without parental care, women victims of domestic violence, and people with disabilities during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the opportunities that appear in this period for the social inclusion of these sensitive groups.

Holistic Approach to Social Housing

The publication ''Holistic approach to social housing'', developed by dr Zlata Vuksanović Macura and the EU SHAI team, aims to support the local self-government units in holistic planning and implementation of social housing and active inclusion measures for vulnerable groups. It consists of two fundamental parts. The first part analyses legal and policy frameworks of housing, social, educational, health care, and employment policies and active inclusion of vulnerable groups, as well as the institutional framework at a national, provincial, and local level. The second part elaborates on nine holistic models of inclusion and housing support for vulnerable groups. Best practice examples from Serbia and selected EU countries were presented with each model. The publication won the 3rd prize in the category of Publications at the 30th International Urban Planning Exhibition in Nis, and recognition in the category of Publications at the 44th Salon of Architecture in Belgrade.

Local Housing Strategy Development Guidelines

The guidelines are based on the normative framework that determines the obligation of local self-government units to develop local housing strategies (Law on Housing and Building Maintenance), as well as the content, structure, and process of drafting public policy documents (Law on Planning System). The procedure is presented in accordance with the structure of the strategy and the action plan for its implementation and through a clear overview and description of the identified steps.
