👉 Europe must not follow this path! Instead, Europe can pave a better way - by investing in housing, care, dignity, and inclusion. To truly end poverty and homelessness, mental health must be at the heart of EU anti-poverty and housing strategy #MentalHealth #Rights @feantsa.bsky.social

these policies push society’s most vulnerable - the real victims of a society that has failed them - further to the margins

Let’s face it, this approach does not work
But we know what does:
Housing First,
community-based mental health support,
Harm reduction and rights-based care,
and Inclusion

Europe can PAVE A better way.
By protecting the human rights of all people, and Investing in care, housing, and solidarity
Find out how

The European Union is currently developing an Anti-Poverty Strategy (APS) with a focus on housing.

To truly end poverty and homelessness, this strategy must put mental health at its core.

Because dignity, housing, and mental well-being go hand in hand.

A young girl prepares to collect water from Lake Kivu – an essential daily task that carries hidden danger. In North Kivu, where conflict continues to displace communities, unsafe water sources like this remain a major driver of cholera transmission. WHO warns that without access to clean water, the most vulnerable continue to face life-threatening risks.
