FEANTSA's Ending Homelessness Campaign
In the framework of the 2010 European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion, FEANTSA is running a campaign called 'Ending Homelessness'. Throughout Europe, our members are organising campaign activities. The central message of this campaign is that homelessness can and should be ended.
In order to achieve this, FEANTSA calls for the development of integrated homelessness strategies, which address the following goals:
1.No one sleeping rough
2.No one living in emergency accommodation longer than is an ‘emergency’
3.No one living in transitional accommodation longer than is required for successful move-on
4.No one leaving an institution without housing options
5.No young people becoming homeless as a result of the transition to independent living
Launch event 14th April 2010 at the European Parliament!
FEANTSA launched its campaign with a hearing called 'Ending homelessness is possible! How can the EU effectively contribute to the fight against homelessness?'
