The document summarizes Helsinki's responses to irregular immigrants. It notes that 620,000 people live in Helsinki, including 75,500 born abroad and 78,500 who speak a non-Finnish or Swedish language. Helsinki has provided various social and health services to irregular immigrants over the years, including 24/7 emergency social services since 2007, food banks since the early 1990s, and the Hirundo Day Center for beggars. More recently since 2013, services have included emergency health care, prenatal care, vaccination programs, and living allowances from social services in emergency cases. Child welfare services also assess and provide open or custodial care to children as needed.
The document discusses Ghent's policies and responses to irregular migrants. It notes that as of 2013, there were 2,443 medical cards issued to irregular migrants by the city's Public Social Welfare organization. Ghent aims to balance a policy of solidarity and integration with one of enforcement against abuse. The city has established various administrative bodies like a Permanent Consultation Committee and Integration Service to coordinate services for migrants and enhance social cohesion. The Info Point Migration provides legal information and translations to over 7,000 individuals annually from 140 nationalities. Neighborhood stewards help address complaints and act as bridges between agencies and new EU citizens.
The document summarizes the key findings of the 2017 report "The State of Housing in the EU" published by Housing Europe. It finds that while economic growth has returned to Europe, inequality is increasing and many are being left behind. Housing markets are recovering but prices are growing faster than incomes in most countries. The crisis exacerbated housing exclusion and homelessness, while policy responses have been largely inadequate. Cities are developing innovative solutions to address affordable housing challenges with limited national support.

Presentation given by David Corner, UK National Audit Office, at a FEANTSA seminar on "Glocalisation of homeless policies? How local authorities can strengthen their homeless strategies through transnational cooperation", Committee of the Regions, May 2006
This document discusses topics around social housing in Europe. It addresses issues like affordability, mobility, demographics, and financing social housing. It notes that over 1.3 million asylum seekers came to Europe in 2015. Inequality in housing is increasing, with housing costs disproportionately burdening low-income tenants. Affordable housing shortages, empty homes, high construction costs, and obstacles to credit are ongoing problems. Cities struggle with increasing housing prices that push people out. Innovative solutions are needed to provide permanent, decent and affordable housing connected to opportunities.

The document summarizes the European Investment Bank's (EIB) support for integrating cities and refugees through lending, blending, and advising. Since 2014, the EIB has financed 15 projects related to migrant/refugee accommodation and social infrastructure in Germany and Southern Europe. Eligible sectors for EIB lending include housing, shelter, infrastructure, emergency response, and technical assistance. The EIB also supports youth employment, resilience initiatives, and the EU Urban Agenda partnership on migrant inclusion. Cities face challenges financing integration work due to high competition, complex governance, and burdensome administrative procedures for EU funds. An Inclusion Blending Facility could help by blending EU grants and loans to provide direct funding and synergies.
The document summarizes a discussion on precarious housing among migrant communities in Toronto. It discusses Finland's national program to reduce long-term homelessness, which transformed shelters into supported housing units. It also describes a study on homelessness among immigrants in Helsinki that found the largest immigrant groups experiencing homelessness were from Somalia, Estonia, and Russia, often single mothers with children. Common reasons for immigrant homelessness included unemployment, high housing costs, eviction, and family or health problems.
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 a project called "Peer-Mentoring for young mothers and pregnant women" that took place from 2017-2019 in Vienna. The project trained refugee women with health backgrounds to become peer mentors for pregnant refugees and young mothers. Over the course of the project, 17 peer mentors from diverse backgrounds provided support and information to over 120 women. The peer mentors also participated in discussions with decision-makers to address challenges like long qualification validation times. The project had positive effects, including raising awareness of barriers to employment and beginning to open paths for peer mentors to work in health roles.
This document provides an overview of evaluations conducted at the 23rd International Conference on Image Processing in Phoenix, Arizona from September 25-28, 2016.

This document summarizes Touradj Ebrahimi's presentation at ICIP 2016 where he discusses whether data compression is dead or if perspectives on it need to change. Some key points are that compression is not dead due to increasing computing power and data abundance. However, some compression approaches could fail if not well-managed. Overall, the drive for increased complexity in compression standards has led to more complex systems but left users happy to continue down this path exclusively.

Keating - Sustainable intensification and the food security challenge CIALCA
Presentation delivered at the CIALCA international conference 'Challenges and Opportunities to the agricultural intensification of the humid highland systems of sub-Saharan Africa'. Kigali, Rwanda, October 24-27 2011.
This document provides an introduction to light fields and their applications. It discusses the plenoptic function, which describes the set of all light rays that can be observed. Light fields can be parameterized in different ways, including using position and angle or using two planes. Applications of light fields include digital image refocusing, 3D displays, camera arrays, and controlling camera or object motion. Modern implementations include the Lytro light field camera, which uses a microlens array in front of the image sensor. Other applications discussed include using light fields to reduce lens glare and developing thin, depth-sensing LCD displays.
Global Food Security Challenges and Opportunities: the new role of agricultureShenggen Fan
Global food security faces complex challenges such as food price volatility, population growth, and climate change. A comprehensive strategy is needed to address these challenges and protect the poor. Agriculture, especially small-scale farming, must play a new role in achieving broader development outcomes such as improving nutrition, promoting climate change adaptation, building conflict resilience, and narrowing gender gaps.
Food systems, food security and environmental changeIIED
This is a presentation given by Dr John Ingram of Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute (ECI) to a Critical Theme organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development on 12 February 2015.
Dr Ingram leads the Environmental Change Institute's Food Systems Research and Training Programme, which aims to increase understanding of the interactions between food security and environmental change. The programme's research products have been adopted by national and international organisations, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the UK and Dutch governments.
In his presentation, Ingram looked at food system activities and 'planetary boundaries' – the safe operating space for humanity with respect to the earth's biophysical systems. If these planetary boundaries are crossed, then important subsystems, such as a monsoon system, could shift into a new state. Such shifts could have damaging consequences, including undermining the environmental conditions and the natural resource base on which our food security depends.
IIED hosts Critical Themes meetings to explore new ideas, introduce new research and broaden the knowledge of its staff.
More details: bit.ly/1CkRJ9K.
In between the obvious risks from crop failures and livestock epidemics, and food contamination at the retail level, are food security issues and risks that run through the entire food supply chain. Because there are so many interconnected threads in food security, it is important for insurers to have a grasp of the entire picture.
The document summarizes efforts in Dayton-Montgomery County, Ohio to prevent homelessness through affordable housing development and emergency financial assistance programs. It discusses the results of prevention programs targeting families at risk of homelessness and analyses of clients not enrolled to help improve targeting. The Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program served over 800 households and saw high shelter needs during the recession. Future prevention may focus on narrow targeting and rapid rehousing with new Emergency Solutions Grant funding requirements.
The document discusses issues faced by homeless people in Australia. It notes that around 100,000 Australians are estimated to be homeless on a given night, including young people, families, those with mental illnesses or substance abuse issues. The homeless have significant needs like housing, healthcare, education and employment assistance but lack resources to access these services. Improving access to support services can help the homeless gain housing and skills to exit homelessness.
Virtual Retinal Display: their falling cost and rising performanceJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to analyze the increasing economic feasibility of virtual retinal displays. These displays focus light on a person’s retina using LEDs, digital micro-mirrors and lenses, which are all encased in a head-set about the size of glasses. They enable high resolution 3D video images with a large field of view that are far superior to existing displays. Rapid improvements in LEDs and digital micro-mirrors (one type of MEMS) are enabling these displays to experience rapid reductions in cost and improvements in performance.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to analyze how Light Field Technology is becoming economic feasible for an increasing number of applications. Light Field Cameras record all of the light fields in a picture instead of just one light field. This capability enables users to change the focus of pictures after they have been taken and to more easily record 3D data. These features are becoming economically feasible improvements because of rapid improvements in camera chips and micro-lens arrays (an example of micro-electronic mechanical systems, MEMS). These features offer alternative ways to do 3D sensing for automated vehicles and augmented reality and can enable faster data collection with telescopes.
This document discusses light field photography. Light field photography captures information about the direction that light rays travel in a scene, allowing effects like image refocusing and new viewpoints to be generated. Traditionally, light field information has been captured using lenslet arrays or camera arrays. The proposed technology discussed is mask-coded light field projection, which uses a coded attenuation mask to project structured light and sample the light field of a scene with a single sensor. Potential applications mentioned include image refocusing, depth estimation, segmentation, object recognition, and changing viewpoints or enabling 3D displays.
The document discusses the challenges of climate change for agriculture and food security. It argues that resources and research need to focus on helping poor rural communities adapt. International climate agreements could impact food security depending on how agriculture is treated and funds are allocated. The document proposes specific policy actions and Copenhagen agreement language around incentivizing agricultural mitigation, increasing adaptation investment, and establishing a public technology network focused on climate-smart agriculture.

B4 “Prioritising protection: gender-based violence and the rights of undocume...VSE 2016
(Alyna Smith, Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, PICUM)
Victims of crimes often need assistance to overcome the consequences of their victimisation on their mental and physical health, and to ensure their safety. Accessing this support is particularly challenging for undocumented victims, who are often at greater risk of victimisation due to structural factors, including laws and policies that prioritise immigration enforcement over their safety and protection, exacerbating their exploitation at work, at home, and elsewhere.
This workshop focuses on the specific challenges confronted by undocumented women who are victims of crimes, including gender-based violence, in getting the help they need. It begins by outlining states’ obligations to provide them with protection, support and services under two key instruments:
(1) the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (“Instanbul Convention”), and (2) the EU Directive 2012/29/EU establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime (“Victims’ Directive”). It then turns to consider the reality of their situation in the Netherlands, framed by real examples of undocumented women’s experiences; and the essential role of NGO’s in providing or connecting them with key services and support, and calling attention to shortcomings in law and practice and their impact on women.
This document discusses integration in Germany and Europe. It begins with an overview of the Common Basic Principles on Integration in the EU that were established 10 years ago. It then discusses key topics relating to integration such as socioeconomic, cultural, and legal dimensions. Several principles are explained in more detail, including the importance of non-discrimination, mutual accommodation, employment, language skills, education, diversity of cultures, participation in policymaking, and developing goals and evaluation mechanisms. Statistics are provided on immigration trends and the diversity of populations. The role of different actors in integration is addressed, as well as envisioning what integration and European society may look like in the future.

Opportunities and threats: a study on undocumented/unofficial migrants in the...Early Artis
This document discusses unofficial/undocumented migration in Finland and the welfare state. It presents two potential future scenarios - a "threat scenario" where society becomes polarized and undocumented migrants are excluded from public services, and an "ideal scenario" where all individuals have equal access to public services based on needs rather than citizenship. It also summarizes interviews with social service workers who feel unprepared to help undocumented migrants due to a lack of national guidelines. The document aims to explore how unofficial migration may impact societies and public sector work in the future under different scenarios.
150326 Report on LGBT by Congress_Local_Regional_Authorities_CoE_finalJuul van Hoof
This document is a resolution from the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe regarding guaranteeing the rights of LGBT people in Europe's towns and regions. The resolution recognizes that while international standards prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, LGBT people still face widespread discrimination. It calls on local and regional authorities to develop action plans promoting diversity and combating discrimination. It recommends authorities work with LGBT groups to ensure non-discriminatory policies, conduct trainings, and audit services to ensure access for all citizens regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
The document describes Italy's Emilia-Romagna region's integrated social and health services system for older people. The system involves coordination between the national, regional, and local levels. At the regional level, social services and healthcare are planned and networks of public and private providers are authorized and accredited. Local authorities conduct needs assessments and plan services with public funding. The system aims to focus on individual needs rather than just improving administration. Key aspects include case management, home care, day centers, nursing homes, and caregiver support through training and services. Lessons learned include the importance of coordination, flexible community services, support for caregivers, and a focus on soft skills in working with older adults.

The future ageing of the ethnic minority population of England and WalesThink Ethnic
This document provides a summary and introduction to a report on projecting the future aging ethnic minority population of England and Wales. It notes two trends causing anxiety in Europe - increasing population diversity and an aging population. However, the aging population will itself become more diverse in the future. The report aims to outline this future aging ethnic minority population. It used statistical modeling and projections of fertility, mortality, and migration rates to estimate the size and characteristics of the ethnic minority population in 2051. It projects that ethnic minorities will comprise 27% of the total UK population by 2051. The introduction emphasizes that the projections are not definite predictions, but provide an indication of likely future trends based on current evidence and recent patterns.
The document discusses the implications of Brexit for charities in the UK. It provides updates on key Brexit milestones such as triggering Article 50 and agreeing to an implementation period. It outlines how the Office for Civil Society can help charities understand Brexit impacts. Brexit may affect EU funding for charities, freedom of movement for EU citizens working in the sector, and EU laws and regulations that charities operate under. The future is uncertain but the sector is encouraged to provide views to help shape policies on these issues.
This document outlines a strategy to end homelessness in Washington D.C. by 2014. It proposes a two-pronged approach: 1) Immediate investments to improve existing homeless services and 2) Long-term strategies to replace the homeless system with community-based housing and care within 10 years. The plan aims to prevent and end homelessness through increasing affordable housing units, transforming shelters into rapid rehousing centers, and fully integrating homeless services and support into mainstream public systems. The goal is for any future experiences of homelessness to be brief and non-recurring.

New migaration into the uk trends & policy discourse qumil 15092010Berhanu Kassayie
This document discusses trends in migration to the UK and the evolution of migration policy. It covers:
1) Demographic trends showing declining refugees but growing economic migrants to the UK. Eastern European migration increased after 2004 EU enlargement.
2) Changes in migration policy framework over time from assimilation to social cohesion and integration agendas. More restrictive policies emerged post-9/11 focusing on deterrence and security.
3) Challenges of developing integration policies that balance individual rights, group rights, and social/economic opportunities for both migrants and receiving communities. Identity and perceptions of threats to identity pose ongoing challenges.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Presentation title
Speaker’s name
The impact of the rising tide of
asylum-seekers on the
homeless sector in Germany
Dr. Thomas Specht, BAG
Wohnungslosenhilfe
2. BAG W: Structure and Tasks
• Re-founded 1954, but goes back until 1884
• National umbrella for public administrations
and NGO’s
• 180 members with about 700 social
services for the homeless (about 60% of all
services for homeless -1200)
• Staff: 1 chief ex., 3 policy officers, 2.5
Administration
3. What target groups?
Pyramid of homelessness
and housing exclusion
Homeless people in
the streets
Homeless people in
institutions
People at immediate risk
of homelessness
People living in unacceptable
housing conditions
4. Political and administrative frame on
homelessness
• National government makes national legislation on
homelessness; municipalities and so-called jobcenters (Part of
National Labour agency) at the local level implement in
cooperation with NGO-based social services
• regulation of legal claims of “persons in socials difficulties” for
comprehensive social counseling (§§ 67-69 Social Code, Book
XII)
• Persons who are at risk of losing their homes are entitled to
assistance of prevention- either in the form of loans or
allowances for rent arrears.
• Police laws in the Bundesländer (regional states) strictly oblige
municipalities to provide shelter for roofless people.
5. Structure of services for homeless
people in Germany
• About 1200 specialized services for actual
homeless ( 25 % with integrated accomodation,
75 % counseling services
• About 120-140 specialized prevention
services, most of them in cities with more than
100.000; tendency growing, also in rural areas
• Main intervention approach: referral into the
housing market if apartments are available (de
facto “Housing first” – it is known under
ambulantory approach in Germany since around
1980)
6. What numbers?
• In 2014, about 335.000 people in
Germany were without a home
(rise by 17% since 2012)
• BAG W estimates that by 2016, this
number will have increased by 60%
to 540.000
8. Migration: Impacts in general
Migration of asylum seekers increasingly
effects the homeless sector via four
“channels”:
Via grown concurrence in the housing market
Via prolongation of stay in shelters
Via growing homelessness of refugees
Via growing numbers of national and EU-
migrants sleeping rough due to capacity limits in
the shelter sector
11. Background of estimate
Housingquota 50 %
Shelterquota 50 %
Family members following after 2-3 years
• This would lead to an additional
housing demand of about 550.000
rented flats und 1.1 Mill. shelter
places in 2015-2018
13. Migrants in the Homeless Sector

14. General Measures Housing Policy
470,000 units new built
every year until
Among them at least
150.000 units for
affordable and social
housing a year
15. Measures for accepted homeless asylum-
seekers outside the homeless sector
• Federal Level: Financial support of
municipalities for emergency care through the
federal state
• Regions („Länder“): Establishment of
adequate help- and funding structures
through regulations
• Municipalities: ensure non-discriminatory
access to emergency care regardless of
nationality
16. Recommendations for homelessness
and housing inclusion
policy and migration policy
Local support systems
• the principle of equal treatment of all people experiencing
homelessness, regardless of their citizenship,
• the implementation of further support for all migrants,
• enhancing and strengthening connections and co-operation
between all advice and contact-point services,
• ensuring medical care and access to the general health
care system, and
• increasing low threshold advice services within the social
services that cater for migrants.
17. Specific Measures
providing migrants experiencing homelessness with unlimited access
to emergency services
guaranteeing safe accommodation and special refuges to female
migrants who have been exposed to (sexual) violence.
focusing more strongly on migrants at risk of homelessness
when developing and implementing preventive support services.
developing and promoting social integration services within the
neighbourhood of those migrants living in unacceptable housing
conditions
increasing the number of support services available to migrant
families with and without children for housing procurement and
housing maintenance.
promoting support services in the field of employment that offer
further training to migrants.
18. Measures on EU-Level
During the funding period of 2014- 2020,
special programmes combating problems
of homelessness and housing exclusion
(including cases involving migrants) are
to be created via EU structural and social
funds.
the German federal government should
engage in a socio-political dialogue with
other member states to find solutions to
poverty-driven migration and
