General information about the Czech Republic Housing and homelessness City authorities may have access to flats for rent. Applications are managed via a points system. Points are awarded for eg: monthly income, having dependent children, health problems or disabilities. Applications are open to people with a permanent address in the city. Waiting times are long (usually several years). It is common practice to allocate properties to tenants who can guarantee rent payments. Services for homeless people may be provided by central or local government, voluntary sector organisations. Since 2001 Regional Authorities have responsibilities to provide social services, although actual provision varies according to region. Welfare benefits Welfare benefits are not available for individuals in the Czech Republic. When a person returns to their family the head of household makes an application to Social Services on the basis of additional household costs. It is very difficult to obtain state benefits without such a stable address. Individuals who have no family are accommodated in Social Service night shelters and are therefore not entitled to any financial assistance. The Police Police may take a harsh approach to rough sleepers. They may be more sympathetic to older homeless people and those who have lost their home and be willing to give out information about charities or day centres.
