Unlocking housing for Housing First

Homelessness continues to be an acute problem for almost all countries in Europe, but there is new political eagerness to tackle this problem, including from the European Union with the establishment of the European Platform to Combat Homelessness, as well as promising progress in several European countries as well as at local level. 

The Housing First Europe Hub teamed up with the Housing Solutions Platform to write a report to answer one of the most frequently asked questions when we talk about moving towards a systems approach to ending and preventing homelessness through Housing First: how to find enough housing to respond to the current need?
The report aims to provide inspiration for governments, housing providers and organisations through showcasing “fire-proof” examples that have proven their impact and that can be developed further, as well as untapped ideas that have tremendous potential to be taken to scale.
