Support to the European Platform on Combatting Homelessness
In line with the Platform?s work programme adopted in February 2022, the activities will promote capacity and knowledge building in the area of homelessness and housing exclusion from 2024 onwards.
More specifically, the support to the Platform should:
- Provide learning tools, evidence and knowledge on specific aspects of homelessness, and identify good practices in terms of policies and projects;
- Improve the sharing of knowledge and practices to inform policy makers and other intervening actors in the Member States on the design of integrated homelessness strategies at the national level.
The ultimate goal is to achieve concrete results in combatting homelessness with a view towards reducing it substantially across the EU by 2030.
Scope:The grantee(s) are expected to prepare learning and analytical tools: training material, explanatory fiches on good practices in terms of policy and projects, mapping of national strategies, background documents etc., on specific aspects of homelessness and housing exclusion.
The results of these activities will be disseminated by the grantee and will feed into mutual learning and capacity building activities for Platform members: seminars, on-site visit programme to homelessness projects, trainings for practitioners, etc.
These activities (capacity and knowledge building; mutual learning) will be based on an inclusive and participatory approach involving all relevant stakeholders as well as people experiencing homelessness. They will also contribute to promoting good practices, disseminating the results of the Platform and raising awareness on the issue of homelessness and housing exclusion.
The relevant material created for the purpose of these activities shall be freely disseminated online.
