Recognizing the multidimensional nature of homelessness, EDRA implements programs such as “Housing & Reintegration” and “ANAKAMPTO”, providing shelter and support to homeless individuals and people at risk of poverty.
Our goal is to restore dignity and promote the social reintegration of beneficiaries through comprehensive housing and employment interventions that combine accommodation, psychosocial support, and job inclusion.
Through protected apartments and collaborations with local authorities, the reintegration of homeless individuals into society is actively promoted.
EDRA – Social Cooperative Activities for Vulnerable Groups actively contributes to combating homelessness through the “Housing and Employment” Program, implemented in the municipalities of Peristeri, Aigaleo, Ilion, Agioi Anargyroi–Kamatero, and Petroupoli.
