Homelessness is an extremely severe form of poverty, and the Commission must give extra assistance to the Member States as they grapple with this crisis. To this end, I welcome what is in this report. The objective in relation to putting an end to homelessness by 2015 will not be achieved if an integrated approach is not implemented that covers every relevant policy area, along with the wider issue of social inclusion. It is not enough that the homelessness strategy includes monitoring and reporting, it must include active measures for developing sustainable, effective, national and regional strategies.
The European Regional Development Fund was recently expanded to cover housing for marginalised people. That Fund and the European Social Fund must focus on the programmes for extreme poverty and homelessness. There should be easier access for organisations to the money available from the Commission and from the Member States and red tape must be reduced significantly. Why have social funds and action plans if they do not confer any benefit on the people who need them the most?"@en1
