In 2022, a total of 1,720 homeless individuals were counted in the Kempen, including 563 children. These figures have led to increased attention for homelessness in policy and aid efforts.
With this in mind, a new count is now being organized. It will include individuals who do not have their own home, are temporarily staying with friends or family, live in unsuitable housing, or are at risk of losing their home.
The count will be conducted with respect for everyone's privacy. Individuals in difficult housing situations are encouraged to contact the social services department to determine if their situation qualifies for this count.
