Homelessness and housing exclusion
Homelessness and housing deprivation are perhaps the most extreme examples of poverty and social exclusion in society today.
Although access to good quality and affordable accommodation is a fundamental need and right, guaranteeing this right still represents a significant challenge in a number of Member States.
Yet the consequences of homelessness and housing exclusion can be severe in terms of health, social participation or access to employment and education.
Therefore, developing appropriate and integrated responses, both to prevent and tackle homelessness, is a key element of the EU’s social inclusion strategy and has been addressed in a number of Peer Reviews.
