In this Social Innovation Spotlight episode, we explore how a Croatian initiative provides immediate access to stable housing without preconditions, along with personalised support such as employment guidance, counselling, healthcare access, and help reconnecting with the community.
This approach replaces temporary shelters with long-term stability. As a result, 80% of participants maintain stable housing for over a year, enjoy better health, and become more involved in their communities.
It shows how prioritising housing can transform lives, strengthen social integration, and influence local policies on homelessness.
