What is the European Observatory on Homelessness?
The European Observatory on Homelessness (EOH) was set up in 1991 by FEANTSA to carry out transnational research on homelessness and housing exclusion.
The Observatory is made up of a core team of researchers from around Europe.
Its main outputs are the biannually published European Journal of Homelessness and the annual Comparative Study series. The EOH also organizes a European Research Conference every year which is attended by over 200 researchers from around the world.
The Observatory aims to:
- Facilitate the development of effective homelessness strategies and policies through a strong evidenced-based approach.
- Give international exposure to significant national, regional and local developments and provide a forum for comparative analysis of policy and practice in preventing and tackling homelessness in Europe.
- To stimulate debate on homelessness and housing exclusion at the European level.
- To assess the lessons for Europe, which can be derived from policy, practice and research from elsewhere.
