Access to Housing for Vulnerable Groups in Estonia

The study “Access to Housing for Vulnerable Groups in Estonia” is undertaken within the European Union Community Action Programme that aims to fight against social exclusion. The current study helped to contribute to the preparation of the Joint Inclusion Memorandum. It will facilitate working out integrated measures to fight against poverty and social exclusion in Estonia.

The Joint Inclusion Memorandum (JIM) is a political document that was assigned between Estonia and the European Commission in December 2003. It aims to determine the causes and risk groups of poverty and social exclusion in Estonia and the key areas and activity trends for increasing social inclusion. In determining the key areas and planning the activities the priorities of the EU’s Lisbon strategy and the objectives set for reducing social exclusion in Nice were taken into account.
