The Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare in Croatia has handed over four new apartments to the Center for Providing Services in the Community Lipik (CZPUZ Lipik) in Novska, which will house 22 children without adequate parental care. Minister Alen Ružić emphasized the importance of providing equal conditions for these children to grow up and become equal members of society. Irena Pendl, head of the Children's Department in Novska, described the transition from institutions to smaller residential communities as a significant step toward better child development. The new housing aims to provide security, support, and skills necessary for independent living. The facility's director, Ivan Pušćenik, highlighted the opportunity for children to develop autonomy. Organized housing is considered one of the highest standards of care outside institutions, offering stability and encouraging independence.
