Legalising Roma Homes in Macedonia (Prilep) with Micro-Loans

Thousands of Roma living on the outskirts of Prilep, Macedonia's fourth largest city, are using Habitat for Humanity loans and help from a local partnership NGO to become legal residents and gain access to needed services and home improvements.
On the edges of Prilep, Macedonia's fourth largest city, there's a large Roma community housing over 5,000 people. Every one of these dwellings when they were built was done so illegally. They are not in danger of being knocked down or evicted, but their unofficial status creates problems for the Roma.
The cost of legalizing their homes is way beyond what many Roma can afford and the legal process far too daunting. It's a problem faced by around 300,000 people in this country, almost 15 percent of the population. So Habitat helps by providing non-profit interest microloans with Roma SOS on hand to guide residents through the legal process.

It can and will become a big problem. Apart from many of these homes being illegal, the residents of these illegal homes are illegally connected to electricity and water that they do not pay for, which is unfair to citizens who abide by the laws.

I was in prilep last spring...they have their work cut out for them. I would describe most cities there as a mix of dark souls 3 and fallout 4.
