"Madam President, the problem of homelessness has become worse in recent years, to the extent where we now also have homeless women, families who live on the street, homeless young people and children, and workers who have lost their homes as a result of defaulting on their loans due to the economic and financial crisis.
I would like to make a few suggestions to the Commission which might offer solutions to this problem. First of all, I believe that setting up a European agency for homeless people or for monitoring homeless people might provide a solution that will follow up on this problem, in line with European standards and by providing common solutions for the whole of Europe.
The next measure is to extend and use structural funds, such as the European Social Fund and the European Regional Development Fund, to analyse the problem of homelessness and, in particular, to build permanent housing where it is needed, following the Finnish ‘Housing First’ model, which has proven that a EUR 14 000 reduction is achieved in costs for every beneficiary supported.
Last but not least, I suggest that homeless people should be consulted, along with the associations they belong to, when it comes to drawing up future measures."@en1
