A web talk on homelessness and what Greens in government want to do about it
Channel: GreensEFA
Date: 2021-06-16

From Budapest to Barcelona, Greens in local and national government have been working to find long-term solutions to the growing homelessness crisis, often drawing inspiration from pioneering policies from around the world, such as housing first, and calling for a shift in understanding and response measures. 
The COVID pandemic has made this challenge even greater and increased the housing precarity of many.

On 21 June, EU leaders along with ministers, and many stakeholders, will meet in Lisbon to commit to EU collaboration on homelessness and to work towards ending homelessness in the EU by 2030. 
Ahead of this, we talk to some Green housing experts and city mayors, to hear what actions are working on the ground, and how further EU cooperation could help scale up efforts to meet the challenges ahead.
 
Greens/EFA MEPs Kim van Sparrentak, Sara Matthieu, and Ciaran Cuffe will be joined by:

▶ Irish Green Party Housing spokesperson, Francis Noel Duffy
▶ Housing alderwoman of Leuven, Lies Corneillie
▶ Barcelona City Councillor, Laura Perez Castaño
▶ Senior Policy Advisor at the municipality of Budapest, Bálint Misetics
