In the 1st phase we took stock of different creative approaches to combat
homelessness in a large number of Member States and various types of
organisations. Our perspective of innovative methods emerged from the
needs of homeless persons focusing on improving their situation. We
discovered a need for a more integrated approach of analysing the
methods/good examples presented by each city. Getting effectively to grips
with homelessness demands a holistic, integrated approach to the problem
which cuts across all the different levels (prevention, emergency,
response, reintegration), spheres (housing, jobs, mental, physical and
psychological health, etc). groups (young people, women, men, migrants,
drug and alcohol abusers, etc) and their respective needs. Given, however
the limitations of available funding and time scale for phase two we have
identified three specific themes to further explore in terms of focussing
our project:
- Re-integration in the labour market-transition actions
- Mental health strategies
- Services for Women
|
The general objective is, thus, to see how these methods/good examples can
be related to the improvements of the NAPs when there will be a third
round to influence the National Action Plans of social exclusion.
