Health, Belonging and Inclusion: Understanding Neighbourhood Experiences of Vulnerable Residents

About
FEANTSA aims to bring the perspectives of people experiencing homelessness and living in unfit housing into research on how neighbourhoods shape health and well-being. Through our European network, we provide grounded expertise on homelessness, exclusion, housing insecurity, energy poverty, and socially inclusive renovation, alongside strong EU policy work.
We translate our work focusing on marginalised groups, into concrete EU policy recommendations. Our goal is to ensure neighbourhood regeneration and climate transition strategies improve health of people with highest risks (homeless people and vulnerable people in unfit homes) while enabling vulnerable households to remain and thrive in their communities.
