"The motion for a resolution proposes a European strategy for homelessness, one of the most serious social problems and most extreme forms of poverty existing in the European Union, which urgently needs to be resolved. The existence of homelessness represents an unacceptable violation of fundamental human rights, of which the EU always boasts of being an ideal role model, lecturing others about it at any opportunity.
It is therefore crucial to prioritise actions promoting social inclusion, so as to ensure that no one sleeps rough and that even the time they potentially spend in temporary lodging is limited strictly to the time needed to provide them with appropriate accommodation: their own housing.
We consider it a positive step that the majority in Parliament has supported this resolution, urging the Commission to draw up an ambitious homelessness strategy and to support the Member States in drafting effective national strategies, including support from Union funds to finance projects for housing marginalised groups.
However, on top of all this, it is crucial to change profoundly the current policies that have led to this situation, in order to guarantee employment with rights, quality public services, living pensions and the minimum conditions needed to pay for decent housing, including water, electricity and sanitation."@en1
