EU SHAI publishes the study ''Holistic Approach to Social Housing''
''The EU Support to Social Housing and Active Inclusion'' programme has published the study ''Holistic Approach to Social Housing'', which represents a form of support to local self-government units (LSGUs) in holistic planning and implementation of social housing and active inclusion measures for vulnerable groups.
The study is based on an analysis of national legislative acts and strategy papers, relevant sources and literature, as well as European and local best practice examples.
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 illustrates holistic models of inclusion and housing support for vulnerable groups. Two holistic inclusion models were presented for each of the four Programme target groups through the provision of housing support and active inclusion measures. It is also possible to provide other forms of housing support for each target group, in line with legislative solutions and the local context, coupled with the compulsory implementation of active inclusion measures Furthermore, the study features a holistic model of social housing in a supportive environment, suitable for vulnerable groups to live together. Best practice examples from Serbia and individual EU countries were listed with each example.
