World Habitat

Due to the unprecedented impact of COVID-19, cities are now facing increased challenges of supporting people experiencing street homelessness.

Across Europe, the situation is changing rapidly, with a variety of emergency government policies and funding in place. We are continuing to support our partner organisations in their work to find safe accommodation for homeless people at this time. We have published a report detailing the initial response to COVID-19 in each of our European End Street Homelessness Campaign partner cities.

Our focus is now on #EveryoneDeservesAHome – ensuring that people who have been placed in temporary accommodation during the pandemic do not return to life on the street but are supported into permanent homes, while continuing to help those still on the streets into sustainable accommodation.
