The Albanian government vowed to increase the number of people in the Roma and Egyptian communities “as priority beneficiaries of the social housing program\u201d as part of its 2021-2025 strategy on integrating the Roma community.<\/p>\n

But to this day, housing remains one of the biggest problems that the community faces.<\/p>\n

One of the most highly anticipated projects has been the Tirana Riverside promising to accommodate some 12,000 people whose homes were damaged from the 6.4 magnitude earthquake that struck Albania on 26 November 2019, among whom many Roma families living in the neighborhood for many years.<\/p>\n

On the official webpage of the National Agency for Territorial Planning, this project is still \u201cin drafting process\u201d.<\/a><\/p>\n

Mayor Erion Veliaj took it on Instagram a few weeks ago to announce that some of the families affected by the earthquake will enter their new homes before New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n
