Support for Independent Living
This project addresses housing insecurity in Prague.
It focuses on promoting the social inclusion of marginalized individuals and groups by supporting and developing activities related to housing. We assist members of the target group with accessing housing, settling in, and strengthening their skills and capacities to maintain stable housing.
The target group of our project includes people who are homeless, living without a roof over their heads, or in inadequate or unstable housing situations. It is made up primarily of seniors, families with children, and single mothers.
Our Project in Numbers
The project runs from September 2023 to December 2025.
So far, we have successfully housed 15 households, provided ongoing support to approximately 10 additional households as part of homelessness prevention, and offered one-time counselling or assistance to around 200 individuals — whether to help them avoid losing their housing or to support them on their journey toward independent living.
Our team
We strive to provide clients with comprehensive and coordinated care. The housing project is delivered by a multidisciplinary team, which brings significant advantages when it comes to collaboration between professionals in client support. It allows us to respond more quickly to the client’s situation, as there is no need to involve external institutions or specialists.
Our team consists of a project manager, key workers, a peer support worker, a psychologist, and housing and debt specialists.
The project is guided by the eight core principles of the Housing First model, which originated in the United States in the 1990s.
