"Madam President, homelessness has long weighed on civilised and cultured society in Europe. Street homelessness is the most visible and most extreme form of poverty and social exclusion. There are many reasons for getting into this situation. These often include personal factors, such as the breakdown of a close relationship, domestic violence, loss of employment, illegal migration, use of addictive substances or complete loss of ability to earn at least some level of income.
The European Consensus Conference on Homelessness in December last year attempted to find an answer to the question of how to deal with this distressing phenomenon, which is frustrating to any decent person. The fundamental and primary measure should be one of prevention, by reducing the threat of eviction to a minimum where there are personal problems. Another temporary measure should be to ensure access to temporary accommodation for the time it takes to overcome short-term problems. After overcoming the worst problems, the people affected should be assisted in their own best efforts towards securing accommodation that is cheap and basic but, at the same time, stable. It will definitely be necessary to think about other assistance for them as well, on top of accommodation. This too, however, should be provided primarily on the basis of their active cooperation."@en1
