In 2022, 1,720 homeless and housingless individuals were counted in the Kempen region, including 563 children. These figures highlighted the extent of the housing crisis and led to increased attention in policy and aid services.
Therefore, the Social Service is organizing another count. Homelessness and housinglessness encompass not only individuals living on the streets but also those temporarily staying with friends or family, living in unsuitable housing, or at risk of losing their homes.
The campaign, under the slogan '#Wijtellenmee' (We Count Too), aims to collectively make hidden housing needs visible.
