A New Beginning
A forty-five-year-old Olga from Brno has stayed in various hostels, shelters and on the street over the past five years. This spring she was granted a municipal flat for a subsidized rent. She succeeded as one of sixty-five selected lucky candidates on whom the city tests the Housing First project.
Its principle is to view housing as one of the basic human needs that may, eventually, help the homeless get back to their normal lives. Czech Radio Radiožurnál had an exclusive opportunity to share with Olga the moment when she first stepped in her new flat. And there was a little surprise for her inside.
