KNOWING THE PROBLEM IS THE FIRST STEP TO FIGHT IT
That is exactly why we have developed the first analytical model in Portugal to map Housing Poverty. This tool citizens, researchers, municipalities and social entities to better understand the scope of this problem.
Tell us if you know a house that needs better living conditions
We want to hear and understand each case! However, it is important to knw that this form does not function as a direct request for intervention. We work daily to reach those who need it the most, but it’s not possible to reach all the people and families who need help. In addition to filling out this form, we advise you to contact the nearest City Hall to share your situation with social services.
We work in collaborarion with many municipalities and City Halls, as these are the entities closest to the families and the first ones responsible for evaluating the reports that reach us.
We want to collaborate with more municipalities to reach more houses. Only in this way can we combat housing poverty in our country.
