ON THE PROJECT SUPPORTED BY CIVICA MOBILITAS
The young and the right to housing
BACKGROUND
Unlike other age groups, the young rarely ask for support for access to justice, even when their rights are obviously violated. The action aims to improve and advocate for the housing and living rights and conditions of the young people in North Macedonia. Taking into consideration that there is few available data on the housing conditions and residents in the country, we see an urgent need, via our strategic planning, to identify and explain the current ways of housing to people around the country, especially the City of Skopje. We need to identify the potential challenges and how these challenges can be overcome for the needs of the young people and housing.
