700.000 Homeless in
Europa (2022 Feantsa -
FAP) but this number
of invisible or so much visible
homeless ... is destined to grow.
-
According to the collective 'Les Morts de
la rue' : in 2021 at least
706 people died on the street in
France ", (and this is
non-exhaustive number) ....
and sure this number
have grown by far in recent years ..
-
-
The slogan today (as every 10
years...) repeating "end of
homelessness in the next 10 years"
2030!.
but who ever launches these slogans
knows very well that it is not
possible to realise a minimum
progress in this fight against
homelessness and poverty if don't
take remedial action planning a real
political and economic - social -
cultural investment.
-
Today the social
phenomenon of homelessness are
a symptomatic expression of a
deepest and complex malaise of
the society and the structure that
is given. In the past century and
before , the homeless were
considered poor wretches than
individually consequence of their
individual problems and for this
discharged to the care of assistance
organizations.
-
Today...
very
often the homeless in situations of
extreme poverty and precariousness
are increasingly stigmatized
either as mentally ill or as
criminals, i.e. people who must
be enclosed, excluded, without
rights and without pretensions ...
the waste of a good and
productive society . And
evidently very often also the social
organizations that take charge of
what should be the responsibilities
of policy makers and administrators
the well-being of citizens suffer
the same fate. But fortunately we
not only see this negative side but
above all we try to highlight the
commitment of civil society the
collaboration between the different
services and that is what we try to
meet .... exchange .... evaluate
.... propose with the realization of
these projects.
AIM
: focus
attention in interconnection between
home-less & health-less &
hope-less
Home…
- Health…
- Hope…less
will
solicit our reflections, exchanges and proposals
on extremely poor people who risk losing their
rights
and
dignity
along with their home – i.e. not
only the place to stay, but social and
psychological space
where a
person is welcome, accepted and where she
can develop his/her own capacities and self
estime …,
Do
our emergency services meet the real needs of
homeless people?
What
are the barriers to access and delivery?
Do
the services have the necessary material and
human resources?
How
can emergency responses (such as winter
shelters) be linked to more sustainable and
preventive responses (such as housing, legal
assistance, health care)?
