What has changed for the
more than 55,000 homeless people in the
aftermath of
the Lockdown
and the responsible
appeal
#iorestoacasa??
This is explained by a
group of social researchers who, thanks
to the collaboration of the dim
network. PSD and Caritas,interviewed
over thirty referents of services aimed
at homeless people in different Italian
cities (Rome, Turin, Naples, Trento,
Ancona, Ragusa, Cagliari).
TheInstant Report
"The impact of the pandemic on services
for the homeless" edited
by Iref, fio. PSD in
collaboration with Caritas Italiana,brings
to light the effects that the pandemic
isproducing on the serious adult
marginality, the changes that many
organizations have had to adopt to
secure the most fragile people and
welcome new requests, the operating
methods that in some cases have
disrupted the service itself. A story in
progress that traces the difficult
months of lockdown: from the
"H24 dormitories" between isolations and
laboratories, to the "add a place at the
table", from the "territorial
resilience" demonstrated by many
services, to the "very high
psychological pressure experienced by
the operators"; from the fear and
despondency of many homeless people
"left out", to the possibility of
starting new life paths for people who
have taken out skills and resources.
"The research highlights how the
response capacities of the institutions
have been put to the test, the risk is
that the second wave and winter will put
the service system in crisis"
says Paola Vacchina, President
of Iref.
"It
is
necessary to include services to the
serious marginality in strategic
territorial planning, to promote capableservices
that aim immediately to activate people
in the very management of spaces,
relationships andpaths, says
Cristina
Avonto, president. PSD,
consolidate
public-private networks and partnerships
where the local authority is responsible
for its homeless citizens".”.
