Within the national ESF/ERDF OPs,
Spain
foresees the development of integrated actions
of rehousing of the Roma population and the launch of programmes of social housing that
offer temporary accommodation during the process of social integration, with particular
attention to the needs of women and Roma girls. Integrated plans combine interventions
related to access to social housing with others in the areas of education, health, sport
facilities and employment services. ERDF interventions (such as the adaptations of housing
or the construction of social housing) are complemented with ESF actions (actions of
accompaniment). In addition, some of the Spanish ESF regional OPs (e.g.
Murcia OP,
Castilla-La Mancha OP
) plan actions related to the rehousing of persons living in shacks and
substandard housing, the improvement of the housing conditions and urban rehabilitation.
In some cases, actions are complemented with those within the ERDF OPs in the regions.
One specific objective of the
Slovak
Human Resources OP
(ESF and ERDF) is the ‘Growth
in the number of the Roma households with access to improved housing conditions’.
Results include the improvement of the conditions for social integration of people from
Marginalised Roma Communities (MRC) through a functional system of transitional
housing; the introduction of a financial mechanism supporting self-build housing projects
(micro-loans); and improvement of the quality of housing in the MRC environment through:
infrastructure, access to drinking water and utility water, construction of access roads and
communal waste collection.
Several OPs target their interventions at
disadvantaged areas in rural and urban settings.
The
Hungarian
Territorial and Settlement Development OP
(ESF and ERDF) targets
segregated Roma camps, and the
Spanish
Social Inclusion and Social Economy OP
(ESF) aims, in complementarity with ERDF, at the eradication of shantytowns and other
substandard housing.
In
Croatia
, together with the
Efficient Human Resources OP
(ESF), the
Competitiveness and
Cohesion OP
(ERDF) works for the improvement of socio-economic and living conditions in
at least five pilot small towns. The package of interventions will result in the regeneration of
degraded areas and contribute to the reduction of inequalities, social exclusion and poverty.
The
Romanian
Human Capital OP
(ESF) aims at reducing the number of people at risk
of poverty and social exclusion in marginalised communities in cities with over 20 000
inhabitants, focusing on those with population of Roma minority by implementing measures
and integrated operations in the context of CLLD mechanisms.
The
Slovak
Human Resources OP
(ESF and ERDF) targets under the ESF Priority Axis
‘Integration of marginalised Roma communities’ and the ERDF Priority Axis ‘Technical
facilities in municipalities with presence of marginalised Roma communities’ the segregated
and separated Roma settlements and locations based on the ‘Atlas of Roma communities’.
Interventions of the
Integrated Regional OP
, implemented through regional integrated
territorial strategies, are also implemented in the territory of municipalities identified in the
Atlas. Actions relate to the provision of social services, socio-legal protection of children
and social guardianship, healthcare infrastructure, school infrastructure and material, and
promotion of sustainable employment and job creation in the cultural and creative sector.
