HUNDREDS OF HOMELESS PEOPLE IN DAMAGED BUILDINGS – VIDEO
11:33 AM | TODAY | SOCIAL
Besides multistory living buildings subject to demolition and
dilapidated dormitories of former factories there are also dozens
buildings of former schools and libraries, which have not been rebuilt
or recovered either since Spitak earthquake of 1988.
In these buildings homeless families are still living, some
of which on previous years were even allowed to privatize their
occupied territories. However, many families living in these damaged
buildings do not have earthquake homeless status that is they are not
subjected to reimbursement by the state for housing; moreover they
do not have the means and possibilities to legitimize and strengthen
their apartments.
As a result for many years they continue living in unsafe, damaged
buildings without any kind of communal facilities.
One of them id Heghine Eghoyan who does not have homeless status and
is a single mother with 6 children.
Our staff visited Heghine’s family to give her the funds received
during last month’s charity telethon held in Los Angeles.
Details in the video of “Shirak Center”.
