Urban development best practices

In 2009, Skuodas - the district centre of one of 14 most problematic districts in Lithuania - had 91 occupied social flats and 48 families on the “waiting list”. Due to the economic crisis, the need for social housing was constantly increasing. The municipality was not financially capable to renovate, maintain or purchase new premises for the development of social dwellings. With 0.337 million euro of ERDF money allocated under the nationally coordinated scheme “Social housing development and quality improvement”, an abandoned block of Skuodas hospital building was completely reconstructed to arrange 16 social flats and accommodate 54 persons. The project is one of the first completed social housing development projects in Lithuania.
