Active projects

We bring together housing providers, non-profits, researchers, local and regional governments, housing associations and health authorities. Together with residents of multi-unit housing, we experiment with and learn about ways of alleviating loneliness and social isolation while building capacity for neighbourly support and mutual aid.
