The stigma and
discrimination,
related to the mental disease, are long-lasting.

Homelessness is an affront
to every value that we assign to the concept of
CITIZENSHIP.
Homeless, are among the most marginalised in our
communities

(EU RT Minister

When the person
has lost everything, and also hope on the future,
them does not remain other that to survival on the street where he will
be: without rights.. -home, -dignity,
-job, -health,
-wellness.
These persons remain
as a constant challenge and a
troubling sign not only of the economic crisis, but also of
values
crisis which underpin our
democracies - values such as the social cohesion,
the solidarity based on
respect of individual rights, the equitable access to resources and
services.
