The project operates within the framework of the Program for Support of Regional Think Tanks with financial support from the "Freedom House – Ukraine" foundation. Its implementation in Lutsk will be carried out by partner organizations: the Intellectual Service Consortium "Leon-Analytic," the Public Coalition "European Lutsk," the Lutsk Youth Council, and the Lutsk Press Club of Reforms.\nThe project envisages a new approach to solving the problem of reforming former housing maintenance offices (ZHEKs) by establishing intersectoral interaction "public-authorities-business" with the aim of protecting consumer rights.\nThe results of successful implementation of the project should be: an improved regulatory and legal framework for the housing services market; an increase in the number of effectively operating associations of co-owners of housing and building committees; expansion of the housing services market; improvement of the quality of provision of these services; reduction of consumer debt for provided housing and communal services.\n"We expect from the implementation of the project the quality provision of services and an increase in the level of protection of residents," said the project manager, director of the Intellectual Service Consortium "Leon-Analytic," Nataliia Zhurkina.\n"We have no illusions that in five months of project implementation everyone will start receiving quality services, but pushing the authorities to act is our task," believes the coordinator of the Public Coalition "European Lutsk," Oleksandr Martyniuk.
