Social housing reconstruction camp

The shortage of housing is a widespread symptom of poverty in Hungary. These students have noted the problem and are developing a project here with multiple impacts: houses are being renovated, energy costs slashed and rent arrears reduced; collaboration with (inter)national volunteers has injected new life into the settlement with the community exchanging rent arrears for an improvement in the value of the housing stock. The enthusiasm of the project instigators is certainly beginning to bear fruits. Fantastic political and social sensitivity is developing into concrete support. We very much hope that there will be lots more Social Housing Reconstruction Camps to come – with exemplary results!
