These houses were reconstructed as part of the Regional Housing Program, where the reconstruction of a total of 38 residential units took place in Odzak, while keys of the remaining eight units should be handed over in the future period.
The Federal Ministry of Displaced Persons and Refugees is implementing this program, which is aimed at returning refugees from the region, as an implementer in co-operation with the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of BiH, and a significant progress was made in the process of realization of activities from this fund.

After the approval of BiH5 project by the Donors Assembly of RSP in June this year, it is planned to provide a home for a total of 2,500 families, or about 9,000 individuals, by the end of 2019.
