“Time to end long-term homelessness” announced Astrid Krag, the social affairs minister. There are 6500 homeless people in Denmark (30% more than ten years ago). The social minister proposes the following ideas to abolish homelessness:
- 2900 affordable houses with capped rent at 3500 dkk/monthly.
- A national partnership between the state and NGO’s to find solutions.
- 135 million dkk for “orientation support” to help homeless people reintegrate into society (house, job, free time, etc.).
