Tuesday and Wednesday at 2:00 p.m.: How can we ensure care housing?

Ensuring housing that enables people in need of care to live at home is an important priority for the government. OVF's subsidiary Clemens Eiendom is involved in several projects to build such housing. We will address these questions through two debates. Welcome to Solsiden brasserie in Pollen.
