Abstract

Introduction: This paper examines homelessness in the EU and focuses on how countries monitor this phenomenon, looking at the existence of monitoring frameworks and their local dimensions. The 8th Overview of Housing Exclusion in Europe reveals that there are at least 895,000 individuals experiencing homelessness, sleeping rough or in temporary accommodations, marking a 70% increase compared to a decade ago. To combat this problem, the Lisbon Declaration on Combating Homelessness was signed by EU Member States, institutions, and civil society organizations, aiming to eradicate homelessness by 2030. Method: Desk research and interviews with statistical and homelessness experts were employed to gather relevant information. Result: Diverse legal national definitions, national strategies and monitoring programs at the local level, and socio-demographic profiles of people experiencing homelessness in EU member states. Conclusion: Effective monitoring is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of homelessness and policymaking.
