[01] Larisa to initiate home renting program for refugees
The municipality of Larisa will issue in the coming days an invitation to
home owners who want to rent their property to refugees, the municipality
announced after a meeting at the city's town hall on Saturday.
The program is coordinated by the municipality and the UN Refugee Agency,
which will cover the cost of the rent and utility bills.
"This is not a program where you simply put a person in a flat. These
people will have to deal with health issues, issues of education for
their children, their own integration in a context of normalcy," deputy
mayor for social policy Dimitris Deligiannis told the Athens-Macedonian
news Agency.
The program aims to lower the number of refugees living in the nearby
refugee center of Koutsohero to 500.
