Over the course of February, the Permanent Secretariat of the UIA initiative will organise a series of four webinars to support interested organisations in the preparation of their 2nd Call application.

Today, more European cities and social movements are calling governments at all levels to take responsibility for reaffirming housing as a right and not as a commodity. They are also showing the way by trying out concrete actions to implement the right to housing. This web conference #2 will be dedicated to housing exclusion, homelessness and migrants, which are on the rise reaching increasingly large sector of population, regardless of age, gender, and ethnicity. At least 700 000 people are homeless any given night in the EU, 70% more than a decade ago. In addition, the current COVID-19 emergency shows how essential housing is, considering to that many people cannot access secure, safe home, or are at risk of housing difficulties loosing jobs and working opportunities.

UIA will hold an Applicant Seminar in Bucharest on 11 January 2018. Registration for this event are now closed.
