After all, the Community runs a stationary department for permanent or temporary residence of elderly residents and persons with disabilities, and a shelter was organized last year for persons suffering from domestic violence thanks to the support of international partners and nongovernmental organizations. Currently, the leadership of the Village Council is studying the possibilities for the Community to receive new families who lost their homes due to military aggression, and the staff of the Village Council is actively working on projects for the development of social housing across the Community. The Head of the Community actively participates in events related to internally displaced persons as the creation of comfortable places for living and employment of internally displaced persons remains a priority for the Community.
