Fondation Abbé Pierre and FEANTSA are launching their 8th annual Overview of Housing Exclusion in Europe. In this report, they reveal new estimates of the number of homeless people in Europe and draw attention to the issue of unfit housing.
Given the significant rise in homelessness observed in most European countries, it is clear that the current political response is not sufficient. The emergency management model has been pushed to its limits. Additionally, the problem of unfit housing remains largely invisible and difficult to measure. Now more than ever, there is a pressing need to implement the new policies that were proposed following the pandemic, aiming for a sustainable solution to homelessness. Don't miss out on this important conversation!
