Pilot Social Housing Programme for the most vulnerable groups (Recovery and Resilience Fund)

The pilot project funded by the Recovery and Resilience Fund aims to prevent homelessness and address housing exclusion of vulnerable groups of the population experiencing or threatened by homelessness, and to create networks between public and/or private landlords and local social services in order to develop a social housing policy for these groups.

Project interventions include:

  • The renovation and energy upgrading of 30 publicly owned apartments/buildings in order to join a network of affordable rental housing
  • Establishment of a system of beneficiaries, as well as other conditions for inclusion in the programme (eligibility criteria, duration of inclusion in the programme, accompanying services)

The project is a partnership between the Municipality of Thessaloniki, the Ministry of Family and Social Cohesion, and the Social Rental Agency of MDAT.

The project falls under axis 3.4 “Increasing access to effective and inclusive policies” of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan Greece 2.0.
