Open Town Hall for the Access to Habitat Law
The Open Town Hall for the Access to Habitat Law is a deliberative forum organized by the Buenos Aires Province's Chamber of Deputies. In the open town hall, citizens and representatives of political, social and academic organizations, as well as representatives of trade unions and the Chamber of Deputies, discuss ways to address the housing deficit in the province and grant access to housing to the most vulnerable segments of the population. At the same time, they seek to promote the effective implementation of the Access to Habitat Law, which was enacted for this purpose. The Forum has met twice in the city of La Plata. One of the results of the meetings was the creation of the Provincial Council for Habitat and Housing.
