Group of homelessness charities supporting people across Europe and the US.

At the Depaul Group, we know that lack of access to affordable, suitable housing both causes and sustains #homelessness.
That's why we're in the European Parliament today, hosting a seminar 'Building an EU Strategy to Eliminate Homelessness' with Depaul Ireland and Aodhán Ó Riordáin MEP.
Image shows a group of people. Text reads: "Homelessness is one of the crudest manifestations of poverty, discrimination and inequality. Ending homelessness will help to create a more inclusive society."
To create a more inclusive society, we must end homelessness.
Measuring homelessness is vital to ending it. That’s why we’re asking nations to prioritise ending homelessness through better data collection.

Text reads 'secure housing improves access to healthcare, reduces preventable illnesses and enables better mental health outcomes.' Image shows housing and two people talking.
To create a more equitable world, we must ensure healthy lives for all.
But we can only do so if we end #homelessness.
To end homelessness, we must measure it. Join us as we call for countries to strengthen efforts to collect data on homelessness: ighomelessness.org/vincentian-f...

The full-scale invasion in Ukraine has led to a rise in homelessness.
That's why Depaul Ukraine brought together government officials and international #homelessness experts at a roundtable event which explored social housing as a tool to end homelessness.
Image shows a man stood on a house reaching for a laptop. Text reads 'providing stable housing enables people to access employment and education, helping to break the cycle of poverty.'
We can only end poverty if we end #homelessness.
That’s why it’s crucial that nations commit to measuring and ending homelessness. Join our call at ighomelessness.org/vincentian-f...
