We are living in critically dangerous times for the international human rights system, directly under attack by governments and political and economic actors all around us. We must use the resorts of international law to promote access to housing as a matter of human rights.
The 1st condition for dignity is having a place to live. A roof over one's head is the basis for everything else in life. Yet today, 1 million people in the EU have no place to call home.
Today we put forward the 1st EU framework to fight housing exclusion and #homelessness.👇
🏠How can we work towards preventing and eliminating homelessness? 🤔
Maria Jose Aldanas from @FEANTSA shares the steps needed to strengthen access to the right to housing.⬇️

🚨 BREAKING: We won!! 👏 A court has ruled that the Trump admin broke the law by forcing people to follow its backwards, partisan agenda in order to get essential housing funds. Everyone needs a place to live. Housing should never be a partisan issue. buff.ly/v4MIg9J

📢30 500 expulsions locatives ont eu lieu en 2025, avec concours de la force publique 🚨
🗣️"Ce nouveau record est extrêmement inquiétant, à seulement quelques jours de la fin de la trêve hivernale. Il est urgent de mettre fin aux expulsions sans relogement !" @AssosLogement
Today, the Trump Administration announced a plan to strip homeless veterans of their rights and autonomy. This does nothing to address homelessness or to help people access the quality care that all people deserve.

🚨 Across Europe, survival is being criminalised.
When social welfare and affordable housing fail, people experiencing #homelessness are punished for sleeping rough, begging, or creating informal living spaces.
