In this article the authors zoom in on the European Platform to Combatting Homelessness to see how it can be understood as a specific example of collective policy making, collective learning, and collective action at the European level because it is underpinned by two mutually reinforcing mechanisms: multi-stakeholdership and multilevel governance.
They also try to draw some lessons from the first years of functioning of EPOCH in a view to contribute to its mission to effectively combat homelessness.
