EU Needs Integrated Homelessness Policy

A pan-European homelessness group has called on EU member states to develop a more integrated approach to address the rise in homelessness across the continent.  In a report on homelessness policy, FEANTSA found that homelessness had increased over the past five years in 15 out of 21 EU member states. The report links the increasing prevalence of homelessness in part to the continuing economic crisis affecting the continent, but also to the failure of individual states’ own policies and ‘longer-standing structural problems’.  Download a copy of the report from the FEANTSA website.
