Public kitchens, including the Pučka kuhinja Mostar and the Red Cross, have been providing daily meals to hundreds of residents, including the elderly and socially vulnerable families. The Pučka kuhinja Mostar prepares between 150 and 200 meals daily, though director Antonije Zelenika noted that the actual number of people receiving aid is significantly higher than official records suggest. Complementing these food assistance efforts, the city has completed a social housing project in the Rodoč neighborhood. This project, part of the CEB II initiative, provides non-profit housing for 24 families previously residing in alternative accommodations. The Rodoč sub-project cost approximately 2.47 million KM, funded by the Council of Europe Development Bank and the City of Mostar. This initiative is part of a broader program to close collective centers and alternative accommodation locations across Bosnia and Herzegovina. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-04: Mostar completes social housing for 24 families in Rodoč Twenty-four families in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, will receive permanent social housing in the Rodoč neighborhood as part of a larger national initiative to close collective accommodation centers. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mostar-completes-social-housing-for-24-families-in-rodo ### 2026-08-23: Mostar public kitchens provide meals to hundreds of residents Public kitchens in Mostar are feeding hundreds of people daily, including vulnerable families and children, with demand often exceeding official social service records. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mostar-public-kitchens-report-rising-demand-for-food-assistance --- Cite as: Social welfare and housing in Mostar.
