Conference on Hidden Homelessness

On Thursday, May 29, the “Conference on Hidden Homelessness in Tarragona” took place with the aim of highlighting the problem of homelessness, especially hidden homelessness, in the city of Tarragona. Data on this phenomenon was presented and, within the framework of the Liquid Housing project led by the UNESCO Chair in Housing, proposals for measures and policies to help combat it were put forward. The new Local Plan to Address Homelessness in Tarragona and its main lines of action were also presented. Finally, discussions were held with different agents involved in the sector on whether the proposed policies have a place, currently or in the future, in the city.
