Founder and CEO of KOMUNA PLUS z.ú. Karel Pytloun has decided to focus on the issue of social exclusion, which besides leads to housing distress, based on long-term experience in the real estate market. For this purpose, a registered institute was set up, which (according to its objectives stated in the charter) assists persons in housing distress, in the form of providing social apartments and follow-up work with the target group. Social exclusion is those citizens who have difficulty accessing institutions and services, are excluded from social networks, and do not have enough vertical contact outside a socially excluded location.

The basic characteristic of a fall to the social bottom is the accumulation of reasons that lead to a life crisis (loss of employment, insolvency, housing problems, children problems with school, illness, etc.). Socially excluded people do not usually stand in front of one problem, but before their complex, many of which would even individually endanger the normal functioning of a person in society. With a gradual drop to the bottom, it is not clear what the original reason for the fall and what its consequences are.

People living on the edge of society adapt to the conditions of social exclusion and adopt specific patterns of behavior that are often at odds with the values of the majority society. That is why cohabitation with them is sometimes problematic at first sight. However, habits gained from adaptation to life in social exclusion make them unable to be successful in majority society, they lose (or even do not gain) value ranks of middle-class citizens oriented towards career advancement and success. This is again and again closes in the trap of social exclusion. People can not get out of this trap without help from others.
