Housing 

Law on Social Housing https://www.gov.me/dokumenta/f576E-9C46-8284812C552  ("Official Gazette of Montenegro", No. 035/13 of 23.07.2013) The conditions and manner of exercising the right to social housing as housing are provided to individuals or households that cannot be able to resolves the issue of housing.
Persons with disabilities, young people who were children without parental care, families with children with disabilities, members of Roma and Egyptians (RE population), displaced persons, internally displaced persons from Kosovo residing in Montenegro, foreigners with permanent residence or temporary residence who had the recognized status of displaced persons or internally displaced persons and victims of domestic violence were recognized as priorities in realizing the right to social housing.

Pursuant to this regulation, priorities are determined and the purchase of residential buildings is approved, under more favorable conditions compared to market conditions. Benefits are manifested through a lower interest rate and more favorable conditions. Construction regulations oblige investors to provide conditions for access and movement, as well as adaptation of a certain number of housing units for the residence and movement of persons with disabilities.

Supported housing in Montenegro is in its infancy and has begun to develop in only a few municipalities. As an example, the JU Center for Social Work for the Capital City of Podgorica, the city municipalities of Golubovci and Tuzi and the Municipality of Danilovgrad, the Secretariat for Social Welfare of the Capital City and the NGO Center for Children's Rights of Montenegro implement the "Supported housing" service for young people who were residents of the Children's Home "Mladost" in Bijela. The implementation of this service will enable easier integration of the user in the community. The expected obligations of the involved institutions refer, among other things, to: providing and equipping the housing unit that will be given to the resident, payment of overhead housing costs, supervision of the user residing in the housing unit, support for finding employment and development of life skills, as well as advisory work with the user.
The supported housing service is mainly used by children without parental care, who were residents of the "Mladost" home in Bijela. The Institute "Komanski Most" is establishing a new service - housing with support, for selected users of the Institute.
