What is our vision?

We are working for a country where the conditions for a dignified existence are guaranteed, especially housing and social rights, and where access to justice is available to all.

 

What we do?

We aim to achieve fair regulation and application of housing and social rights and services. We deal with housing, social rights, and the regulations and practices of municipalities in relation to housing, social care and address registration.

Be aware of your rights

We have produced easy-to-understand "legal guides" that explain laws and their correct application. Our aim is to increase the legal awareness, legal literacy and advocacy skills of people who are homeless or living in poor or precarious housing.

Enforcement

We focus on the right to judicial enforcement and want to take strategic action against rules and practices that disadvantage poor people.

Eviction

Eviction is a long process, and as it progresses, the options (legal and otherwise) for a solution become increasingly limited. It is important to take action as soon as possible.

Housing

We help you navigate the maze of rental and letting options and processes. We have a special focus on social rented housing and publish applications, application tips and advice.

Social rights

We monitor and make recommendations on social benefits. We support legal standards and institutions that help disadvantaged individuals to overcome disadvantage.

Address

We are constantly collecting and publishing questions on address registration, address loss, address card applications and residence.

Infringement

We stand up for equal rights for people living in homelessness and in poor/unsafe housing conditions, against discrimination and criminalisation.

Q&A Budapest Pride 2025

The Hungarian Helsinki Committee, the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union (TASZ), and Street Lawyer (Utcajogász) have jointly compiled the most important information about this year’s Pride. If you’re planning to attend the event, here’s what you should keep in mind:

Díjat alapít az Utcajogász

A Fekete-Nagy Miklós-díjjal olyan jogászokat és szociális szakembereket szeretnénk elismerésben részesíteni, akik jelentős mértékű javulást értek el szegénységben élő emberek helyzetében. A díjra bárki nyújthat be jelölést 2025. június 23. és július 31. között.

Mit tehet a pécsi önkormányzat a rászoruló emberekért?

Megtartottuk nyilvános fórumunkat és vitaszínházi előadásunkat Pécsen. Az esemény az Utcajogász és négy helyi civil szervezet, a Pécsi Civil Lakhatási Szövetség, a Mindenki Pécsért Egyesület, a Város Mindenkié Pécs, valamint a Mosolymanó Egyesület összefogásában valósult meg.

Megtartottuk ötödik Utcajogász Maratonunkat

Április 24-én új vitaszínházi estünk bemutatójával indítottunk, majd 25-én maratoni ügyfélfogadást tartottunk a Blaha Lujza téren, sütit sütöttünk és árultunk, végül pedig kvízesten vettünk részt. Mindkét nap nagyszerűen sikerült.
