Marginalized Communities Housing and Living Condition Diagnostic : Northwestern Bulgaria
The government of Bulgaria requested the World Bank's support in assessing the housing and living conditions of marginalized communities in the Northwestern (NW) region of the country, with an explicit but not exclusive focus on the Roma population. The objective of this assessment was to support the government to develop a program by providing a baseline assessment of housing and living conditions of marginalized communities in three districts. The report presents the synthesized findings from these assessments (combining the various data sources) to identify policy bottlenecks and opportunities for two types of dwellers in the selected neighborhoods: 1) dwellers of marginalized housing units; and 2) dwellers of the government-subsidized social housing units
