At least 170,000 elderly homeless people in Europe, according to Housing Foundation
A report released Tuesday by the Housing Foundation warns of rising homelessness among seniors across the European continent.
The Housing Foundation released an alarming report on Tuesday, September 16, on the situation of homeless elderly people in Europe. According to its estimates, at least 170,000 seniors are currently homeless across the continent.
According to the organization, this figure reflects an upward trend, with a growing number of elderly people finding themselves living on the streets throughout Europe.
The Housing Foundation presents this finding as concerning, in a context where poverty affects populations sometimes regarded as less exposed to housing precarity.
The report, whose full details have not all been specified in the initial available information, sheds light on a social issue that the organization intends to bring to the attention of public authorities and the general public.
