Explore the latest findings from the Comparative Study by the European Observatory on Homelessness in our recorded webinar, examining the link between imprisonment and homelessness in the EU. This session navigates through the critical transition period after prison release, highlighting the risk of homelessness without proper housing solutions and support. We explore the dynamics of how imprisonment can lead to homelessness in the absence of mechanisms to sustain tenancies. The study provides insights into the relationship between homelessness and imprisonment, reviewing current policies and practices aimed at preventing homelessness post-release across 13 EU Member States, and compares these with practices in two additional European countries.
