About the publication
One significant cause is poverty, and another is the general housing shortage, in particular rental apartments with reasonable rents that enable people with a low income to enter the rental market. There is also a lack of control over how vacant housing is distributed among applicants for housing.
The publication presents current research on the causes, extent, growth and consequences of homelessness, as well as discusses a number of problems and gaps in knowledge.
