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.

First Steps Towards Housing First. Possible Implementation of the Housing Fir...FEANTSA
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.
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 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.
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.

This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Dáithí Downey at the European Research Conference on Housing First. The presentation discusses Ireland's shift to a housing-led approach to homelessness, including the establishment of a Housing First demonstration project in Dublin. It also examines the wider housing crisis in Ireland, how financialization and the property bubble contributed to the crisis, and the challenges currently facing the housing market and homeowners, including high rates of negative equity and mortgage arrears.
Estimating the Number of Homeless Sleeping Rough: A Study in 4 Dutch CitiesFEANTSA
This document summarizes a study estimating the number of homeless people sleeping rough in 4 cities in the Netherlands. Researchers used shelter registration data and interviews with homeless individuals in shelters during winter periods to estimate ratios of shelter usage to rough sleeping. Applying these ratios to total shelter admissions, they estimate that on average, 250 people were sleeping rough across the 4 cities, with rough sleeping rates varying between cities from 5.8 to 22.9 per 100,000 population. Only a minority (12-36%) of rough sleepers were considered citizens of the cities studied.

This document summarizes research on implementing Housing First approaches in Europe. It discusses critiques of the Housing First model and presents case studies from Ireland and England. In Ireland, consultation with stakeholders found that housing-led and harm reduction philosophies were viewed positively but concerns were raised about affordable housing supply and "watering down" support services. In London, a small Housing First pilot successfully housed chronically homeless people and showed the model could be replicated in Europe using intensive case management and private market housing.

Overview of Citizen Science - Zurich November 2015Muki Haklay
Citizen science has grown significantly due to societal and technological trends. Increased education levels, leisure time, and sharing economies have empowered more people to engage in scientific work. Advances like broadband internet, mobile devices, and DIY electronics have also facilitated participation. Current citizen science involves collaborative problem definition and data collection between citizens and scientists. Government agencies and policies are increasingly recognizing the value of citizen science data. Further development is still needed regarding sustainable funding models, data standards, and expanding citizen science to new domains.

Evaluation of a Two-Year Housing First Project in SwedenFEANTSA
This document summarizes a study that evaluated Sweden's Housing First model compared to the traditional Staircase model for helping homeless people. 36 long-term homeless individuals were provided housing through the Housing First model and assessed over 3 years. Results found that those in Housing First reported significantly greater feelings of normalcy and stability in housing, and decreased drug use more slowly compared to the control group following the Staircase model. Overall, the study suggests Housing First is effective at improving housing conditions and psychological well-being for homeless individuals compared to traditional approaches.
The document provides an evaluation report of the Man & Machine project run by Outside In Pathways (OIP). The project aimed to provide artistic, educational and social opportunities for people with learning disabilities through activities at the Victoria and Albert Museum and Science Museum.
The evaluation found that the artistic program was well-structured and introduced participants to new skills. Participants influenced the creative outputs and enjoyed working with professional artists. The museum venues provided a stimulating environment that participants enjoyed spending time in. However, some support staff lacked confidence in their roles. Overall, the project appeared successful in meeting its aims of promoting inclusion and citizenship for people with learning disabilities.

The objective of this communication is to study a relatively recent form of radio which is developing: "organizational radio", so called because an organization finances and controls it with precise objectives internal or external to their organization. More precisely, it is the role of organizational radios for urban people on the move that will need to be understood : how these communication tools can serve as an augmented communication tool to attract and secure mobile audiences . We will draw on several examples of niche webradios, hence the concept of "micro-radio".

Lessons Learned in the Turning Point Scotland Housing First ProgrammeFEANTSA
Patrick McKay from Turning Point Scotland presented on their Housing First program in Glasgow. Turning Point Scotland provides over 35 services supporting nearly 9,000 people across Scotland. Their Glasgow Housing First program, established in 2011, is one of the first in the UK to house people experiencing homelessness and substance abuse issues. The program takes a flexible, person-centered approach to support, allowing clients to maintain their housing even if continuing substance use, and focusing on harm reduction through peer support workers with lived experience.

Warsaw, Friday 19th September 2014
Experimental satellite surveys (ctd)
Sampling and response
Stratified sample based on available (scarce) information
Extensive negotiation with intermediaries from social services (= gatekeepers)
Compromises between scientific and pragmatic criteria (e.g. mental health issues, peer pressure…)
Snowball method rather ineffective
Undocumented immigrants very hard to reach (language x fear)
Remaining response bias unavoidable

9. 9th European Research Conference
Homelessness in Times of Crisis
Warsaw, Friday 19th September 2014
Experimental satellite surveys (ctd)
Some key findings
High AROP rates (72% among homeless, 96% among undocumented immigrants) with extreme financial deprivation among the latter. => Lack of effectiveness of guaranteed minimum income and social assistance scheme
High proportions of women with children (32% among homeless, 53% among undocumented migrants)
Deprivation rates = 100% in both groups – with extreme hardship among rough sleepers (no access to potable water, toilet or shower in their place of residence)

Homelessness in Times of Crisis
Warsaw, Friday 19th September 2014
Experimental satellite surveys (ctd)
Some key findings (ctd)
Severe housing problems among undocumented immigrants (overcrowding, exploitation, lack of basic amenities)
Severe health problems (24% among homeless, 37% among undocumented migrants). Mainly nervous / psychological distress (lack of sleep, anxiety, loneliness, addiction…). Non-use of medical services for financial reasons

11. 9th European Research Conference
Homelessness in Times of Crisis
Warsaw, Friday 19th September 2014
Conclusions
Representativeness of surveys w.r.t. poverty should be improved
At level of sampling (prior identification of H2R groups
At level of research design (adapted questionnaires, anticipation of exceptional situations)
At level of data collection (specific subsamples, appropriate survey methods, interviewer training, anticipation of language barriers)
At level of data treatment (re-weighting)
12. 9th European Research Conference
Homelessness in Times of Crisis
Warsaw, Friday 19th September 2014
Conclusions (continued)
Surveys about living conditions of specific disadvantaged groups are useful and feasible:
•Hard figures as a complement to ethnographic studies
•Comparability between subgroups, ‘average’ poor and population
•Comparisons between EU countries and across time
Yet the data collection is difficult => preconditions
•Partnership between researchers and social services
•Well-trained and supported survey team
•considérable time investment
•Realistic sampling procedure (access <=> representativeness)
•Simplified questionnaires + extensive guidelines

Conclusions (continued) Suggestions w.r.t. EU-SILC satellite surveys
Co-ordinated across member states
Rotating sampling plan
No (rotating) panel design
fixed sample size for each group
Simplified questionnaires + tailored interview modules (e.g. administrative situation of undocumented migrants; hygiene conditions of homeless people…)
