Summer 2009 - Homelessness and Quality of Social Services: the standardisation debate Summer 2009 - Homelessness and Quality of Social Services: the standardisation debate Debate around quality of social services has intensified in recent years. Increasingly, questions are being asked as to how the quality of social services can best be guaranteed, how vulnerable users can make informed choices on the type of service they need, how training of social workers can best be ensured, and how social service providers can adapt to increasingly competitive markets. Much of the debate relates to how and whether standardisation can be reconciled with the special role of social services in the protection of fundamental rights, ensuring social cohesion and social protection.

Spring 2009 - Homelessness and the Arts: Creativity, empowerment and social change Spring 2009 - Homelessness and the Arts: Creativity, empowerment and social change
This edition of Homeless in Europe seeks to explore the ways in which the arts have been used in different parts of Europe to help homeless people deal with their problems and everyday life. In recent years, the use of art as a means to empowerment and well-being has taken on a larger role within the sphere of social service provision. It is becoming increasingly accepted that the cultural activities broadly known as 'the arts' can inspire vulnerable people to find a voice.

Winter 2008 - Housing and Homelessness: models and practices from across Europe Winter 2008 - Housing and Homelessness: models and practices from across Europe
This edition of Homeless in Europe seeks to add to the debate on Housing and Homelessness, further exploring some of the issues that were raised amongst participants at FEANTSA's annual conference in Cardiff, and giving more examples of current practices in different European countries. Should we talk of housing first, housing only or housing plus? Who - local authorities, private landlords, social renting agencies, local associations - should be involved in housing homeless people? Should more time and energy be put into preventing people from becoming homeless in the first place? And how is the personal well-being of homeless people being taken into account in the whole housing question?

Autumn 2008 - The Right to Housing: The Way Forward Autumn 2008 - The Right to Housing: The Way Forward
Access to adequate housing can be considered as being a precondition for the exercise of most other fundamental human rights. Having a secure, adequate and affordable place to live is essential to the achievement of a decent standard of living and to the fulfilment of human life beyond simple survival.

This bumper edition looks at the issue of the right to housing from a number of perspectives and gives practical information on the legal frameworks which promote the right to housing, explains the Council of Europe Collective Complaint mechanism, presents national case studies from Scotland, Finland, France and Spain and provides details on Housing Rights Watch.

Summer 2008 - Homelessness in the New Member States Summer 2008 - Homelessness in the New Member States
The summer 2008 edition of Homeless in Europe focuses on the issue of homelessness in Europe's New Member States, those twelve countries that most recently joined the EU. What the majority of these new members have in common is that they were under Soviet domination for fifty years. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, they have experienced significant socio-economic and political changes, transitioning from planned economies to free-market models. The far-reaching reforms and political liberalisation that have taken place have radically transformed institutional structures, including social services, and new solutions have had to be found to old and new problems. http://www.feantsa.org/code/en/pg.asp?Page=35
Winter 2007 - Employment and Homelessness: An Opportunity and a Challenge
In 2007, the annual theme of FEANTSA was employment and homelessness. The aim of this issue of the magazine is not to repeat the discussions and analysis that were part of the annual theme reporting and which are presented in the European Report. Instead this collection of articles seeks to further explore some of the questions that were raised particularly at FEANTSA’s European Conference in Saragossa in October 2007 and to provide a more in-depth focus on those issues that FEANTSA members felt hadn’t been sufficiently addressed in the course of the annual theme.

Autumn 2007 - Social and Demographic Change and Homelessness
The evolution of the composition of the European population and the changing social fabric across the EU are having a major impact on the phenomenon of homelessness. The present edition brings together the experience of service providers and public authorities on the ground, and the changes documented by researchers, in order to offer a picture of how the social and demographic context has evolved across the EU and how these changes have become visible in the experience of homelessness and the profiles of people experiencing homelessness in Europe.

Summer 2007 - Criminalisation of People who are Homeless
This issue of the FEANTSA magazine focuses on the growing trends towards repressive and coercive approach towards people who are homeless and their activities in public space. It looks at the situation across Europe and in North America, where it seems there is a growing trend towards the criminalisation of the activities that people who are homeless are forced to carry out in public space (eating, sleeping etc.), rather than a focus on policies to address their situation of poverty and marginalisation.

Winter 2006 - Health and homelessness: looking at the full picture
"The Right to Health is a Human Right: Ensuring access to health for people who are homeless" has been FEANTSA’s Annual Theme in 2006. During the course of the year FEANTSA looked at various issues in relation to health and homelessness. The aim of this edition of the FEANTSA magazine is to build on the findings of the Annual Theme. The authors look in more detail on several of the key issues raised. What is more, they integrate additional dimensions to the topic by discussing questions such as housing and health, drug addiction, and mental health in relation to housing.
