The city of Budapest has joined the European End Street Homelessness Campaign.

In Hungary, there is no comprehensive national policy to tackle homelessness and housing exclusion. Street homelessness is a crime, the limited amount of social housing available decreases year on year, and state support, such as municipal shelters, does not offer an effective path out of homelessness.

From Streets to Homes Association will lead the city campaign – one of the first in Eastern Europe to adopt principles from the ‘Housing First’ model and combine permanent housing provision with wrap-around social support.
