The Social Housing Program is aimed at preventing homelessness and supporting families in poverty. The program works with unemployed families in Attica and Thessaloniki which are at the brink of eviction and which face severe financial difficulties. It focuses on needs-specific support, with the emphasis on financial assistance, which allows the families to maintain their financial and thus residential independence. The program includes financial assistance with home security and additional aid throughout this time period, to allow for the assistance to bear fruit. The program includes support from social workers, employment specialists, financial literacy experts and psychologists, who will work with each family with a targeted and goal-based strategy for the purpose of empowering them to escape poverty in a sustainable way.
