The outcomes of FEANTSA’s research on homelessness during 2006 are divided in two sections: European Updates and Europeam Thematic Reports.
European Updates 2006
Fifth review of statistics on homelessness in Europe
The report, builds upon earlier reviews, focuses on examining the approaches to data collection by national (or regional) authorities and considering the measurement issues involved in each country. This understanding is then used to discuss the factors involved in improving the capacity of national authorities to measure and report on homelessness.
Forth review of policies on homelessness in Europe
Also based on past policy reviews, this report observes the recent policy responses that National Correspondents identified and reported as directly relevant for the issue of homelessness in each of the member states of the European Union.
European Thematic Reports 2006
Homelessness and exclusion: regulating public space
Over the past year a working group of correspondents of the European Observatory on Homelessness has been considering the various ways in which the increasing control over public space in European Cities has impacted on the ‘life worlds’ of homeless people. The report presents a background of the issue, cases study countries and explanations.
The changing profile of homeless population: Conflict, rooflessness and the use of public space
The report has emerged from one of the research working groups of the European Observatory on Homelessness, dealing with the changing profiles of homeless people in the European Union. It deals with crucial questions regarding the use of public space by people who are homeless.
The changing role of service provision: Barriers of access to health services for homeless people
The report highlights the barriers of access to health care and the nature of health interventions rather than the specific health needs of people experiencing homelessness. It draws upon evidence from seven countries and focus is on particular groups of homeless people as people living rough, people relying upon low-threshold hostels or overnight shelters and people living in homeless hostels.
