Strengthening the ability of homeless people and people living in poverty to understand and exercise their rights

Our goal is to enhance the legal awareness, legal empowerment and the ability of homeless people and people living in bad or insecure housing to represent their own interests. We create and disseminate information materials and videos making laws and their practice easy to understand, and hold capacity-building and training events.   

• ​​Together with the Hungarian Forum for the Cooperation of Trade Unions, we organized a series of online legal training sessions for trade union members. As a result of the project, more than 100 people learned about housing, labour law, debt management and social rights.

• We participated in an awareness programme for families with workshops and lectures for adults and children. The families will be able to move into the social rental apartments of the apartment building on Mexikói út, which was renovated by the municipality of Zugló in the framework of the More than Housing project, in the middle of next year.

• Every month we collect and publish calls for housing applications shared by municipalities on our website.

• As the moratorium on evictions expires, we have prepared a guide on how to write an application for a stay of eviction. We have also written a series of guides on renting and letting flats, and published a compilation of frequently asked questions about the moratorium.
