Municipal and city authorities are seeking for solutions, trying to define the common interest and to manage with usually limited local budget funds in a most efficient way.

 

The objective of this publication is to offer basic information and support to all participants in local housing policy development, in the ambiance of initiated reforms aiming to reestablish public intervention in the housing sector.
