No. 191/2020 European Federation of National Organisations working with the Homeless (FEANTSA) v. Czech Republic
The complaint was registered on 19 February 2020. It relates to Article 16 (right of the family to social, legal and economic protection) of the 1961 Charter alone or in the light of the non-discrimination principle contained in the preamble of the 1961 Charter. FEANTSA alleges that, following the implementation of new housing legislation and policy in the Czech Republic, the situation of many vulnerable households, in particular from the Roma minority, has worsened as a result of drastic cut in housing subsidies, threats and risks of eviction, social and racial discrimination against these households in violation of the above-mentioned provisions of the 1961 Charter.
