    According to that article, less than 55,000 are without shelter.

    i actually think that is pretty good especially since they have taken over 135,000 refugees.

      the refugees get shelter though.

      there are also homeless shelters, but some don’t have enough capacity and a lot of homeless ppl have mental health issues that make them avoid some help and make them unfit to get a job too. some can barely speak. it’s a difficult situation.

        Flip it however you wanna flip it . 500,000 out 85,000,000 seems insanely worse than 770,000 out of 347,000,000 which is the USA homeless numbers according to google. What the fuck happened? The whole country is only the size of a large state lol. How is the largest EU economy so incompetent it produces A homeless rate on a scale of a super power?

        I wonder if there are also issues like there are with homeless shelters in the U.S.? One big one here is you are not allowed to bring your dog with you. Many homeless women understandably have a dog to protect them. It’s a horrible choice they have to make.
