Housing and Work for the Homeless Programme
The ‘Housing and Work for the Homeless’ programme is for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. It complements public policies aimed at tackling homelessness.
The programme’s overall objective is to help eliminate homelessness. Its specific objectives are:
a. To help homeless people move immediately into independent living by providing housing and social care services.
b. To support homeless people’s reintegration into society through counselling and employment reintegration services.
c. For each approved plan, to place at least 20% of all adult beneficiaries who are able to work in programme-subsidised employment, and to provide 10% with a subsidy to acquire vocational skills.
d. To further develop cooperation between services to address homelessness.
The programme also ensures:
- the use of training and employment integration programmes
- counselling services from the employment advisers of the Public Employment Service (DYPA) Employment Promotion Centres
- health education and nutrition services in cooperation with the competent municipal or local public health services or Community Centres
- access to social benefits, especially in cooperation with the competent municipal services (Social Solidarity Income, disability or child benefits, social tariffs and free pharmaceutical care for uninsured people)
- enrolment of minors in compulsory education; and
- educational and cultural activities.
The programme includes:
- Rent subsidies and coverage of household furnishings and other household operating expenses.
- Activation, training and employment promotion services, which may include employment subsidies, social security contribution subsidies, business start-up subsidies, vocational skills subsidies, and access to available counselling, training, education, employment and job-placement programmes provided by the Public Employment Service (DYPA), as well as Second Chance Schools.
- Psychosocial support services and links to complementary social benefits and services.
