Homelessness solutions in Central and Eastern Europe are based on emergency and temporary services, but evidence shows that these types of services are expensive, short-term and don’t end homelessness. In contrast, evidence from small housing-led programmes in the region shows that these approaches are effective at solving homelessness.
To catalyse a change to a housing-led model in Central and Eastern Europe, World Habitat has commissioned an independent feasibility study to explore the barriers, challenges, and opportunities of implementing a housing-led approach in this region.
The feasibility study ‘Ending Homelessness in Central and Eastern Europe: Making the shift to a housing-led system‘ will be launched on Monday September 18 at 9.30 – 11.00 (BST) / 10.30 – 12.00 (CEST) at a free online event.
The event is for NGOs, municipalities and political decision-makers interested in implementing or scaling up housing-led approaches,
policy-makers across the Central and Eastern European region working on strategic housing and/or homelessness plans, funders/foundations supporting housing-led programmes.
Register here to join the free online event and after September 18 to access the study, findings, key recommendations and useful data.
