What is it about?
Appreciation of the Jury

Utcáról Lakásba! Egyesület wants to set a precedent. To show that the “Housing First” approach works, also for those who have lived outdoors or in huts in the forest near Budapest. To show that apartments are not there for speculation, but for living. To motivate participation in the “renovation days” and demonstrations for affordable housing. Always following the principle: To jointly help those affected to improve their situation, to give them a voice, to facilitate communication, to build bridges. Innovative persistence in practical solutions as well as defining and tackling the causes.
