Participation
The term “participation” is intended to denote full inclusion in decision-making processes. In relation to homelessness, participation can be defined as the effective involvement of people experiencing homelessness in service provision as well as in decision making processes affecting these services.
Established in 2006, the FEANTSA Participation Working Group aims to collect and further develop the expertise of FEANTSA in the area of service user participation. What is more, the group looks at better integrating the perspectives of service users in FEANTSA’s work in general.

Participation Toolkit - "Redistributing the Power"
This toolkit is addressed to organisations providing services for people who are homeless, and the people that use those services. We hope that it can offer advice and ideas that could be useful in homeless services, in order for people experiencing homelessness to really get involved in decisions affecting services and how they operate.
