On Thursday 9 June, from 11:00-12:30 CEST, join us for a roundtable discussion on how to use the European Structural Funds to finance Housing First projects and services. We will hear from experts in different European countries about their experience with using the Structural Funds for Housing First, as well as the challenges they encountered during the process and how those challenges were overcome. The discussion is moderated by Samara Jones, Coordinator of the Housing First Europe Hub.
Keynote speakers:
- Vanesa Cenjor del Rey, International Affairs Director and Agile Coach at HOGAR SI (Spain)
- Caterina Cortese, Social Policy and Research Officer at Fio.PSD (Italy)
- Sarah Coupechoux, European Affairs Officer at Fondation Abbé Pierre (France)
- Michal Ďorď, Head of Housing First Team at the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (Czech Republic)
- Jakub Wilczek, President of the Polish National Federation for Solving the Problem of Homelessness (Poland)
This event also launches the soon-to-be-published "Housing First and the EU Structural Funds: A Practical Guide", co-written by FEANTSA and the Housing First Europe Hub. Knowing that accessing EU Funds can be very difficult, particularly for smaller organisations, this Guide aims to walk individuals through that process as well as to raise awareness on the Housing First model among governmental authorities and European Commission officials.
