Vulnerable group: people with disabilities
Human rights area: housing rights, social rights, disability
The case concerns a gentleman from Brașov with a physical disability who, between 2011 and 2018, filed several requests to local authorities in order to have access to social housing, which he finally received in 2018. However, the building was in a very poor condition, allegedly uninhabitable, so the gentleman currently lives with his parents on the 3rd floor of a building without an elevator. He moves around with the help of his mother, as his father suffers from mental health problems.
In 2021, he decided to file a lawsuit against the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection and the Brașov City Hall for the trauma created during all this time and for the indifference with which his case was treated.
The case was taken over by Att. Aura Iovan (Bucharest Bar), who provides remote legal assistance to the applicant in order to support him in his efforts.
