Changing Housing Systems and the Risks for Social ExclusionFEANTSA
This document summarizes a presentation given at the 9th European Research Conference on Homelessness in Times of Crisis in Warsaw, Poland on September 19th, 2014. The presentation, given by Marja Elsinga from Delft University of Technology, examined changing housing systems in Europe, including differences in home ownership rates between countries and the effects of the housing crisis. Some key lessons discussed were that promoting universal home ownership is unrealistic, countries with strong mortgage market regulation fared better in the crisis, and governments should facilitate more stable housing systems through policies supporting both ownership and rental options.

From Crisis Accommodation to Permanent Housing?FEANTSA
This document summarizes a presentation given at a European research conference on housing first policies. It provides background on homelessness in Helsinki, Finland, including statistics on the number of homeless individuals and families. It then describes the services provided at Hietaniemenkatu, a service center in Helsinki that implements a housing first approach. This includes temporary housing, health services, and assistance obtaining permanent housing. Preliminary results of a case study on 109 individuals who stayed at the center found that while many obtained housing solutions initially, some later experienced increased support needs or a return to homelessness. The center plays an important role in connecting homeless individuals to appropriate housing and support services.
The Potential of Housing First in the Rural EnvironmentFEANTSA
Ruth Owen presented at the European Research Conference on implementing Housing First approaches in rural environments. Some key challenges to addressing homelessness in rural areas include limited homeless services due to low demand, scarce affordable housing supply, and inadequate transportation infrastructure. However, floating support services show promise in compensating for lack of residential services. With adaptations like increased use of telehealth, Housing First models have been successfully implemented in rural US communities and demonstrate cost savings over traditional approaches. Mobilizing vacant or agricultural property and engaging mainstream services are important strategies to overcoming rural homelessness.

The document summarizes the implementation of Housing First approaches in Hungary. It describes several pilot programs that provided housing and support services to homeless individuals. However, challenges included the short duration of projects, lack of stable income sources, and insufficient social benefits and affordable housing options. While the programs had successes in retaining housing for some participants, mainstream homelessness services and policies still primarily use a staircase model requiring preconditions before providing housing. Therefore, sustaining Housing First beyond individual pilot programs remains a challenge in the Hungarian context.
Mapping the Homeless Population in AmsterdamFEANTSA
1) The document summarizes studies conducted annually since 2008 on mapping the homeless population in Amsterdam during winter frost periods.
2) Interviews were conducted in shelters and additional beds were provided. The homeless population averaged 41 years old and mostly male. About 1/3 had been homeless less than a year.
3) Conclusions showed the number of European migrants had stabilized but most were recent arrivals. There was an increase in rough sleeping and social problems remained common, especially for EU migrants. Medical problems like heroin/cocaine use decreased while alcohol problems did not.

The document summarizes a presentation given at a European research conference on homelessness. It discusses the numbers of homeless people in the Czech Republic, findings from a survey on commercial hostels in Ostrava, and research on coping tactics for families facing poverty. Over 11,000 people were found to be homeless in the Czech Republic in 2011. A survey of commercial hostels in Ostrava found they were unsuitable for long-term housing. Research identified common coping tactics among poor families, such as passive adaptation and using situations to their advantage. Overall, the presentation examined homelessness in the Czech Republic and discussed efforts to address it.

After Demonstrating that Housing First Works in Canada, What’s Next?FEANTSA
This document summarizes a research conference on Housing First programs for the homeless with mental illness. It discusses the At Home/Chez Soi project, the largest Housing First study in the world conducted across 5 Canadian cities. Interim results found Housing First reduced health system costs and increased housing stability. Efforts were made to promote sustainability after funding ended through negotiations. Current priorities are the project transition and disseminating findings to scale up Housing First nationally through toolkits and partnerships. Housing First is now a major policy shift in Canada with renewed homelessness funding and the Mental Health Commission's advisory role on implementation.
The document summarizes the context for housing first programs in Poland. It notes that the scale of homelessness is not fully understood due to incomplete data. Services for the homeless primarily provide temporary shelter rather than permanent housing. Social work focuses more on rules and contracts than psychological support. The effectiveness of current services and their cost-effectiveness is unknown. While housing first is discussed, there have only been a few small pilot programs involving around 20 people total. The organization presenting aims to work with the city of Warsaw on a larger housing first program and continue advocating for a housing first approach in Poland through research, networking and transparency.

「Social and Human Rights from Local Governments : The Experience of Guarulhos」
- Renata C. BOULOS
The cost of participation — Amplifying democracy by bridging political participation, digital campaigning platforms, and civic crowdfunding. Crossing communities and technologies between Decidim and Goteo
"The good reception of digital platforms for citizen participation launched by the municipalities of Barcelona and Madrid –Decidim and Decide madrid– have made evident the need to continue stimulating and accompanying the transition towards civic participation through online platforms.
At the same time, only a very small number of citizen proposals currently go beyond the initial phases and become visible to other citizens. We need to create mechanisms so that these initiatives that seek a local impact reach the potentially interested people, and stimulate forms of direct citizen participation. We, at Platoniq lab are designing interventions in digital platforms that potentially stimulate direct democracy in the urban context, as is the case of civic crowdfunding platforms such as Goteo.org.
The initiatives proposed in these citizen participation platforms currently have a very short life expectancy or lack visibility. We propose to increase the viability and strength of these proposals by creating a synergy between citizen participation platforms such as Decidim and the civic crowdfunding of Goteo.org and similar platforms
I will present concrete ways of implementing this combined system of Crowdvocacy from systematic data analysis and also from the comparative analysis of civic crowdfunding cases, and sharing results and materials of these research activities, namely:
1) a technological analysis at the level of the design programming of a simplified fundraising campaign structure for citizens initiatives in Decidim and 2) the analysis of communities of the two platforms — Decidim and Goteo — to detect the convergences and connections at a sociodemographic level, geographical location, topic, and motivations. 3) a proposal for a Decidim feature aimed at measuring volunteers work impact. The purpose is not just to measure time spent by participants, but also observe the kind of labor that’s happening and needed to sustain a process.

The Cooperation between Universities and Cities to promote Entrepreneurship and social development - A general overview - André Cester Costa, Economic Development City of Aveiro & Filipe Teles, University of Aveiro
The document describes three projects and initiatives related to migrant integration:
1) CITIES GROW is a city-to-city support project running from 2017-2019 that aims to improve migrant integration policies through concrete actions in 16 EU cities.
2) D4I is a data challenge using a unique EU dataset on migrant communities in cities to foster research on local integration aspects.
3) Munich's Masterplan for refugee integration focuses on questions around empowering refugees from day one through education, housing, and community participation.
The document summarizes several promising practices related to responsible research and innovation (RRI) from countries in South-Eastern Europe. It describes RRI initiatives focused on developing ICT solutions for agriculture, creating a socially aware citizen-centric internet of things, developing bioethical standards through community workshops, and bringing science closer to the public through educational outreach. The practices engage a variety of stakeholders, including researchers, businesses, government, and civil society organizations, in developing responsible innovations that meet community needs.

The document discusses crime and victimization surveys conducted in Barcelona, Spain since 1983. It provides context on how the surveys originated during a time of economic crisis and high crime. The surveys have helped Barcelona develop an integral, multidisciplinary approach to public security that includes knowledge collection, prevention, planning, community participation, and operational coordination. The surveys face new challenges in collecting data on visitors, immigrants, and relating crime rates to perceptions of security. Adaptations to the survey methodology have helped address some of these challenges.
Edited final report city responses to irregular migrants 040115Thomas Jézéquel
Municipal authorities from 11 cities in 8 European countries met in Barcelona to discuss challenges of responding to irregular migrants' needs. Cities provide services like healthcare, education and shelters pragmatically for public health and social cohesion, though national laws sometimes conflict with local needs. Participants agreed to establish a working group within Eurocities to share evidence, practices and advocate for mainstreaming irregular migrants in EU policy.
training of immigrants in the automotive sector
The project aims to develop a training methodology and materials to facilitate the integration of immigrants in the automotive sector through training in technical and linguistic skills.
The project involves partners from Spain, Italy, Germany and UK and will test the training materials developed with immigrant trainees in the different countries.
The final results will include a handbook with the training methodology and materials to be used by other training centres working with immigrant populations.
SEATRAINING promotes the social and labour integration of immigrants through vocational training adapted to the needs of the automotive industry.

BACKGROUND (UNTIL 2010)
Homelessness was not in the local political agenda;
Homelessness intervention wasn’t as important as other social issues;
The local partner’s intervention towards homelessness was not aligned with common goals or methodological principles;
The number of homeless people was a speculative one;
The social measures to deal with homelessness were the same as the ones to deal with other social issues, disregarding some specificities of homelessness;
The intervention didn´t produce real changes in people’s lives;
There was only one specific local response to deal with homelessness, with financial aid from the city hall.
No strategic intervention

IMMEDIATE QUESTION:
0,03% of council inhabitants
Why to invest in a reality that statistically represent’ s only 0,03% of the population?
Because reality It’s made of people, who have the right to live the plenitude of their life’s;
Because for the construction of a cohesive territory all percentages count;
Because it’s not an isolated investment, it’s part of a local public policy towards territorial cohesion, by the reduction of social, economic and educational/cultural gaps of individuals and groups/communities;

CHANGING THE PRESENT
It’s possible, it’s not a statement
It’s imperative for the maintenance of individual rights and dignities;
It’s a “building” in permanent construction;
Defines a different and more balanced future for Cascais inhabitants (Cascalenses)
This is one of the reasons why CASCAIS IS CHANGING
