According to the magazine "Street Lamps", the Croatian magazine about homeless people, there is a significant increase in the number of homeless people:
  • ๐–ซ๐–ฎ๐–ญ๐–ฃ๐–ฎ๐–ญ: 50% more families in temporary accommodation than 2010
  • ๐– ๐–ณ๐–ง๐–ค๐–ญ๐–ฒ: 1 of 70 people are now homeless, most of them became homeless since 2011
  • ๐–ข๐–ฎ๐–ฏ๐–ค๐–ญ๐–ง๐– ๐–ฆ๐–ค๐–ญ: 75% more young homeless people since 2009
  • ๐–ข๐–ฑ๐–ฎ๐– ๐–ณ๐–จ๐– : less than 500 places in homeless shelters, the needs are many times greater
Eurostat (a part of the ๐–ค๐–ด ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ administration, with main responsibilities, are to provide statistical information) is not collecting any statistics on homeless people. It's scandalous.

The only light point is the data obtained from ๐–จ๐–ญ๐–ฒ๐–ฏ (International Network of Street Papers):
  • ๐–ฅ๐–จ๐–ญ๐–ซ๐– ๐–ญ๐–ฃ: 10% less homeless in the last 3 years
Winter is coming, December has the largest percentage of suicide for the whole year, and some homeless people are frozen if temperatures fall below zero. Please help a homeless person get back on their feet, now is the right time!

News Loretta H. talks to Street Roots about her journey to becoming a Street Roots vendor and the ways in which selling the magazine is giving her hope for the future. Donate to support ๐–จ๐–ญ๐–ฒ๐–ฏ's work with street papers and the thousands of homeless people that they support.
