Strengthening the expertise of Romodrom o.p.s. employees in the field of housing advisory

The aim of the project was to enhance the professional qualification of 20 Romodrom o.p.s. employees through five full-day thematic training sessions, in order to improve the quality of housing advisory services provided to individuals in socially disadvantaged situations living in socially excluded environments. 

The project was implemented from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024

Project goal:

The purpose of the counseling is to move individuals living in socially excluded environments into standard forms of housing in a normal environment. Within the project, five one-day training sessions on selected topics were held in November and December. The selected course topics, in line with the identified needs based on previously implemented housing support projects, are as follows:
  • Community work in the context of housing
  • Home care
  • Prevention of housing loss
  • Work with specific topics
Harm reduction, Recovery and Well-being in housing Courses were offered to all employees of the organization Romodrom o.p.s., who would like to educate themselves on the given topic, or, in line with the organization's development strategy, will implement projects specifically focused on housing search for socially excluded individuals. The courses were designed as theoretical-practical with training in model situations and opportunities for open discussion. For this reason, the participant capacity was limited to 20 people. During each training day, participants' ideas and expectations from the course were always explored, and at the end of the training day, an evaluation took place, both through a final discussion and anonymous evaluation questionnaires. Each employee thus completed a total of 5 days (40 teaching hours at 45 minutes each, including start, breaks, and end 8 hours at 60 minutes). In the implementation of individual courses, we utilized both internal and external lecturers. Each course was conducted by a lecturer who has professional experience and knowledge in the given topic.
