On November 11, President Nicușor Dan enacted amendments to the Social Assistance Law, emphasizing access to decent housing as a key measure against poverty. The law mandates local social services to provide a minimum assistance package, including housing for marginalized youth and families in need. It broadens the definition of vulnerable groups to include those at risk of losing their basic living needs due to various hardships. Access to social housing is now recognized as a crucial component of social assistance, aimed at preventing social exclusion. Local social services must ensure access to decent housing, education, healthcare, and employment support. The law will take effect upon publication in the Official Gazette.
