The second phase of the project “Let’s Build a Home Together” commenced on 1 March 2017, as the EU entrusted the UNOPS with 1.5 million Euros to provide housing for up to 42 Roma families from mobile settlements. Until end of February 2020, the project envisages provision of up to 42 village houses where the families will be relocated.
