Homelessness in Greece

Austerity measures and the ongoing fiscal crisis have significantly spurred the rise in homelessness in Greece in the 21st century.[1] Instances of homelessness have been dominantly concentrated in the city of Athens.[2] Homelessness remains a relatively under-examined area of social policy in Greece, with the first organised counting for homeless people taking place in May 2018.[2] Governments and non-profit organisations alike have made efforts to counter this phenomenon.
