ONE OF OUR HOMES

As an alternative solution the Milan municipality offers us the containers of the Social Emergency Centers and Housing Autonomy Centres where the municipality already  host the  families evicted from the slums (they should be put out on street and leave their place to us  after our eviction from our regular homes). In any case, these are temporary,  precarious structures (containers of 12-15 square meters for families of 4-5 or more people). We could stay there for mostly one year and in this year the municipality should offer  inclusion. We have serious doubts that this could happen (no one roma family admitted to these centers in the last two years had a job or a house and they ended up on the street). Finally, who rejects the Emergency Centers  would only have the forced eviction, the destruction of his house with all his stuff.

 

 

 

MUNICIPAITY HOUSING AUTONOMY CENTER : CONTAINER AND THE COMMON KITCHEN

At last we only have as real perspective insecurity, loss of dignity and especially loss of the future of our children.

“Overcoming the roma camps” must be a shared decision with the roma families and must aim to solve the problems not to make them worst. It can not be only  the closure of camps and the deportation to temporary centers  without any certainty for the future.

Almost 6 million of public money spent in Milan for the “Roma issue” in the last two years did not provide any advantage for Roma communities, because they were used only for evictions, emergency centers and their management.

We ask the Milan municipality not to destroy our homes until there are no concrete housing and job solutions for us. Only then it make sense to close the Roma camp in via Idro, like any other camp: giving the perspective of improvement of living conditions to the people.

We ask you to support us in our efforts to maintain our dignity, to help us not to lose everything, not to be forced to start our lives all over again, using a  few minutes of your time and writing  an e-mail until January 10th.  to the Mayor of Milan.

 

Thank for supporting.

The families of via Idro regular camp in Milan

If you agree please send a e-mail to the Mayor of Milan, Mr Giuliano Pisapia:

Don’t evict Roma from via Idro until you don’t have concrete lasting housing and job solutions for the inhabitants.
