Ending homelessness in the Czech Republic: Application of the Housing First model to the Czech environment
Cachová, Tereza ; Klvačová, Petra (advisor) ; Pěnkava, Pavel (referee)
In times such as these, when there is a rapid increase of people facing a housing crisis in the Czech Republic and the attempts to create and enforce the Law on Social Housing, people look at models from the Western countries, such as Housing First. Such models could provide possible solution for the housing situation of many people and also improve the quality of their lives. This particular method appeared in the 1990s USA and was aimed especially for people without homes who suffer from a mental disorder and alcohol or drug addiction at the same time. The main idea is that housing should not be a reward for successful solution of life problems but something that a person needs to start dealing with their troubles. In cases when people are given a place to live for a reduced rent, with the help of a social worker they can very often keep it up and they have the chance to deal with other problems connected to homelessness. The efficiency of the model is explored through experimental projects that do not look only at the percentage of people who are able to keep up their home but also the positive impact on their health or employability.

Social housing problems
Müller, Erik ; Hlaváček, Michal (advisor) ; Filip, Ondřej (referee)
The motivation of this paper is to explore the assumptions of an effective social policy which is efficient, economical and persistent. The theoretical part is based on comparison of the different realizations of social housing in Europe and in the Czech Republic. New trends from abroad show that the efficiency of resocialization depends on the quality of the social works, which are performed simultaneously with the provision of housing. Nowadays, the role of social housing in a society changes. The instrument of social policy becomes a complex tool that may determine, among other things, high building standards as well as increase general social cohesion. The identified aspects of effectiveness are compared with the new proposal of the Social Housing Act. The innovation is the concept of Housing First, which emphasizes fast provision of dwelling and subsequent individual work with the client. The practical part verifies several hypotheses that led to the formulation of the Act, using econometric models. My goal is to contribute into public discussion by proposing specific innovative approaches. They may lead to the successful reintegration of socially excluded into society. What should be the main goal of social housing.
