The Abbé Pierre Foundation and FEANTSA published their Seventh Overview of Housing Exclusion in Europe on 30th June 2022.

In accordance with the European Social Charter reporting procedure, certain countries were exempted from reporting for the Conclusions 2021. These countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, and Portugal, were instead invited to provide information on the follow-up given to the decisions of their respective collective complaints.

The Committee has examined both the country reports on the thematic group of provisions related to health, social security and social protection and the information on follow-up to collective complaints. The reference period for the reporting system is 01/01/2016- 31/12/2019 so the period immediately before the Covid 2019 pandemic, a period of the greatest importance for the shaping of responses during the COVID-19 crisis.

This training course is part of a series of capacity building activities addressed mainly to FEANTSA members in the framework of our Annual Programme. 

Housing Rights Watch organised this online event together with  Ricardo Ferreira and Ana Martins, AMI, Fundação de Assistência Médica Internacional.

On June 4th HRW organised a legal workshop about combatting unfit housing and slum landlords in the EU. The workshop feeds into a study on this topic that will be published soon. Here you can access a summary of the study. Below you can find the video of the session and the presentation of the speakers.
