FEANTSA v. Czech Republic (Collective Complaint No. 191/2020)
The European Committee of Social Rights declared the complaint admissible on December 9, 2020. The complaint is against the Czech Republic (191/2020) and concerns Article 16 of the European Social Charter, which guarantees the right of the family to social, legal, and economic protection. In particular, the Committee deems FEANTSA's complaint admissible under Article 4 of the Protocol, as it is signed by an authorized representative and sufficiently outlines the alleged violation of Article 16 of the 1961 Charter by the Czech Republic.

Sixth Overview of Housing Exclusion in Europe - Rent regulation
The Abbé Pierre Foundation and FEANTSA published their Sixth Overview of Housing Exclusion in Europe on 6 May 2021. This latest report focuses on young people, who are worse affected by housing exclusion than other groups, especially when they are poor, which was the case even before the pandemic took hold. The report also takes stock of the wave of poverty that has engulfed Europe more than a year after the pandemic began. Difficult housing conditions have a negative impact on young people's pathway to independence.

Denmark’s “Ghetto Package” and the intersection of the right to housing and non-discrimination
Susheela Math
Legal Officer, Open Society Justice Initiative
Thousands of people across Denmark face eviction from their homes under the country’s “Ghetto Package,” which seeks to “eradicate” “ghettos” by 2030. The State distinguishes “ghettos” from other areas with the same socio-economic factors on the basis that the majority of residents are of what it calls “non-Western background.”

FEANTSA had lodged a Collective Complaint against the Czech Republic in February 2020, requesting the Committee to find that the situation in the Czech Republic amounts to a violation of Article 16 of the European Social Charter, read alone and in the light of the non-discrimination clause contained in the Preamble of the 1961 Charter.
