HOMELESS

Homeless - end up on the street

Homelessness is the condition of people without a permanent dwelling, such as a house or apartment. People who are homeless are most often unable to acquire and maintain regular, safe, secure and adequate housing. The legal definition of homeless varies from country to country, or among different jurisdictions in the same country or region. The term homeless may also include people whose primary night-time residence is in a homeless shelter, a domestic violence shelter, long-term residence in a motel, a vehicle, squatting, cardboard boxes, a tent city, tarpaulins, shanty town structures made of discarded building materials or other ad hoc housing situations.

In the European Union 30 million citizens haven’t got dignified housing, of which 400.000 lack a home.

To do our work, we need confidence, time and a lot of support. Professionals, volunteers and people attended become part of a team that shares a claim:

" NO MORE HOMELESS AND HUNGER "

What do we want:

Attending homeless people who face the most consolidated phases of social exclusion so that they can be as autonomous as possible again.
Raising awareness among citizens about the reality of homeless people.
Reporting unfair situations and making suggestions to help transform the reality of social exclusion.

We attend homeless people with daily contact and experience, tackling situations, but also their causes, with an integral approach.We are an entity where everybody collaborates. Homeless people provide knowledge through their experience and critical view, the volunteers team makes it possible to rebuild bonds with the most vulnerable people and the professionals add their technical skills and the continuity of the processes.We like finding out about projects and initiatives from other countries aimed at homeless people to learn new methods of intervention and adapt them.

Help us to help people in need.

EVENTS

The concept of 'World Homeless Day' emerged from online discussions between people working to respond to homelessness from various parts of the world.

The Inaugural World Homeless Day was marked on the 10th of October 2010.

Since its founding, World Homeless Day has been observed on every continent except Antarctica, in several dozen countries.

Use of the idea of 'World Homeless Day' is open for all to use... anywhere in the world.
