Kamendin in Zemun Pole is one of the few social housing projects in Belgrade. The problem of the Kamendin tenants surfaced when they realized that the state had provided them with housing at very high rates.
"Before I came to Kamendin. I lived with my family in каukaricka slope in a shed. We won the place in the competition. "If I had known what was waiting for us, I would never have come here," said one of the tenants.
About 80% of the social housing built by the city of Belgrade is located in Kamendin. It is a segregated settlement on the outskirts of the city of Belgrade, 17 km from the city center, where the poorest and most vulnerable category of people live.
"We are all here together: children from foster families, the disabled, people with mental problems Roma and others"
The condition for obtaining an apartment in Kamendin was the income of those families. But after the settlement, it turned out that the monthly overhead costs are close to 200 euros. In addition, tenants pay rent and tax for a social apartment, which is contradictory, because they pay for an apartment that is not owned by them.
