Short and sweet piece here on homelessness in Europe from Euronews, featuring FEANTSA Director, Freek Spinnewijn. Take two minutes to learn: - What are the main challenges people experiencing homelessness are facing? - Why is homelessness increasing across Europe? - Which countries' strategies to end homelessness are seeing the best results? - What is the role for Housing First as part of the solution?

Our Unsheltered Homelessness Brief recommends new solutions we believe should be considered to create more exits to homelessness in our community. One of those suggestions is exploring the idea of tiny homes. What are Tiny Homes? A village of micro-homes often with community-based amenities where previously homeless individuals can flourish. When done correctly, they prioritize dignity using the community of tiny homes “as an efficient means to uplift people in need—as opposed to trying to relocate people off the street in the cheapest way possible.” Two examples of tiny home villages are The Village at Glencliff and Community First Village in Austin, TX.

⭐TACKLE HOMELESSNESS⭐ #Homelessness is something that many people witness but very few are prepared to act upon. Homeless people tend to be either vilified or glorified but in truth, homelessness is a perpetual shame of humanity. The common notion is that homelessness is somewhat a choice. Many people believe and think that the homeless deserve what they are going through because they didn’t study hard or look for a job. Let us tell you - it's not like that at all !!!! There is so much more to homelessness than what you may think and the reality is that there are millions of homeless people in the world because humanity does not have a proper conscience!
