In Ireland, the most recent homelessness count (week of March 25-31, 2019) recorded a total of 6,484 adults and 3,821 children (58% of homeless adult men and 42% women); this amounted to 1,733 families, of which 59% are single parents with children.
According to the 2017 national survey in Sweden, 38% of the homeless population
(covering categories 1 to 6 of ETHOS-Light) were women; additionally, almost half of the homeless people included in the 2017 survey lived in different types of long-term housing organised by the Social Services.
In 2018, in the Brussels Capital Region, among the nearly 300 people sleeping rough, 84% were men, although there is evidence of an increase in the number of women between 2017 and 2018.
The German national expert reports an increase of 64.8% in the extent of homelessness between 2006 and 2016
The Dutch national expert reports a 71.3% rise in homelessness between 2009 and 2016 (from 17,800 to 30,500 people), based on a 2018 report produced by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).
In Sweden, homelessness figures rose from 17,834 individuals in 2005 to 33,269 in 2017, i.e. a rise of 86.5% in about one decade
In nine countries (CY, EE, HU, LT, LV, MT, SI, BA, ME), ESPN experts report the lack of any specific approach to homelessness, either an approach targeted at HHE or as part of any other broader existing strategy.
In a significant number of countries (e.g. AT, DE, DK, EE, ES, IT, NL, PL, RO, SE, SK, AL, XK), national experts refer to considerable differences in funding capacity between different municipalities and/or regions
Evidence on insufficient and/or inadequate funding in relation to existing (often increasing) needs form the bulk of the descriptions (e.g. BE, BG, CY, CZ, DE, DK, FI, FR, HU, IE, IT, LT, LV, MT, PL, PT, RO, SI, UK, AL, BA, MK, RS, TR, XK) made by national experts in assessing their country’s position in relation to the adequacy of funding mechanisms to address HHE
