The Left Party in Saxony is calling for a state-wide strategy to combat homelessness. "Homelessness is a very complex social emergency", states a corresponding motion by the parliamentary group in the state parliament. Even if the municipalities are primarily responsible, the Free State has important tasks to perform.
The aim should therefore be to overcome homelessness by 2030, as envisaged by a resolution of the European Parliament. Prevention services are to be expanded and so-called hidden homelessness - people who do not have their own home and spend the night with family or acquaintances - is to be combated through social work. Funding is also to be provided for social housing.
