  1. Is having a roof enough to feel at home in the EU of 2012? CYPRUS

  2. WE OWN A HOUSE (87,5% in 2009)

  3. Most have a “good” house (67% in 2009)

  4. 99.7% have water supply 97.5% have hot water supply 99.6% have a kitchen 99% have a Bath 99.8% have a Toilet

  5. In 2009, 29% of the houses had a LEAKING ROOF

  6. In 2009Less than 1% of the population in Cyprus lived in households that faced severe housing deprivation.Only 1% of the population lived in overcrowded dwellings - the lowest percentage in the EU (average 17,8%)12.2% of the EU population lived in a household that spent more than 40% of their income on housing. Only 2.5% of the population in Cyprus has this problem.

  7. CURRENT HOUSING SCHEMES (based on income and other financial and social criteria) • Low-Cost Housing Programme • Self-Help Housing Programme on Government Land • Self-Help Housing Scheme on Private Land • Purchase of a House or an Apartment Scheme • Rebuilding and Rehabilitation Programme • Division of Building Plots for Low-Income Families • Scheme for Large Families AND for Families in Rural Areas • Housing Scheme for Low-Income Households Housing • Housing Scheme for the Repair of Houses for Public Assistance Recipients • Rental Subsidies Scheme for Public Assistance Recipients

  8. Why all these schemes? Strong commitment to social cohesion Strong informal networks – the family and the community A tradition to place a high value on housing and accommodation A comprehensive housing policy Strong engagement in land and housing investment Strong engagement in the protection of the social system

  9. Yet... We are worried Immigrants: safeguard equal and easy access to housing, and protection from exploitation especially in the areas of housing and employment. Quality for services: A systematic evaluation and research to safeguard the quality of services and programmes addressing social and housing exclusion. Housing policies: The housing needs of all vulnerable groups should be carefully re-assessed and their participation re-enforced in all evaluation and policy making processes. Develop preventive measures against homelessness in Cyprus. It is important that housing exclusion, as a term, gains its own recognition and status at policy making levels.

  10. We do not have Street Children, Homeless People, People begging for food... and we want to make sure that these will NEVER BECOME OUR REALITY... THANK YOU! EAPN(Cyprus) 2012
