Faith in Action International partnered with the Center for Community Organizing in Slovakia to build the Christian Platform of Banská Bystrica, the first grassroots multi-faith organizing effort in Slovakia. The Christian Platform is currently working with Catholic, Protestant and Jewish religious leaders, the Community of Sant’Egidio and Roma community organizations on a campaign to create a comprehensive housing strategy for Banská Bystrica, Slovakia’s second largest city, that provides housing to the homeless, repairs public housing, which is in deplorable condition, and lower the cost of rental housing for young people.
