Multiple barriers, Multiple solutions: Inclusion into and through employment for people who are homeless in Europe
 
Annual Theme 2007: Employment and homelessness

Employment and occupational activities are an important element of social integration. The lack or loss of employment is often one of the trigger factors that lead to homelessness. At the same time, the (re-)integration into employment or similar activities can play a key role in bringing a person who is homeless on a pathway out of poverty and social exclusion.

FEANTSA members have gained a breadth of expertise in the area of employment for people who are homeless over the past years.
(For more information, please visit the website of the FEANTSA employment working group.)

To pool this expertise and further develop effective approaches to help people who are homeless moving towards employment, FEANTSA decided to dedicate the annual theme in 2007 to the topic “Multiple barriers, multiple solutions: Inclusion into and through employment for people who are homeless in Europe”.

FEANTSA’s special focus on employment and homelessness in 2007 is in line with the clear commitment made at EU level to bring more marginalised people into employment and to treat the phenomenon of homelessness as priority on the European anti-poverty agenda.

During the course of the year, FEANTSA carried out a consultation of its member organisations on homelessness and employment. On the basis of the national reports FEANTSA produced a European Report on the issue. The national reports as well as the European Report are available below on this webpage.

The main findings of the European Report were presented at the FEANTSA European Conference in Zaragazo/Spain.
