Join HABITACT

The EU context is favourable for European cooperation on this issue. For this reason, HABITACT aims to increase cooperation between European cities and welcomes any city interested in European exchange.

At present, HABITACT is a self-funded network developing its activities through membership fees. Who can join? HABITACT is open to all local practitioners in EU/EEA countries who are working in the area of homelessness. These can be managers of local authority shelters/accommodation, or civil servants working in different local authority departments such as housing, health, social inclusion, social welfare, etc.

For information about joining us (fees, conditions), contact info@habitact.eu

Why?

• Homelessness and housing exclusion are the focus of the EU Strategy against poverty and social exclusion in 2009.
• The European Year 2010 will focus on poverty and social exclusion.
• The challenges of migration and the current economic crisis have more than ever increased vulnerability to homelessness.
• Local administrations across Europe are keen to exchange practical information on approaches to tackling homelessness.
