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
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
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
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
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.
