Hello Classmates,
To help combat poverty and homelessness the EU has dedicated this year to highlight the need to address this problem through and awareness and results oriented campiagn called: 2010 European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion.
"Homelessness is one of the most extreme and devastating examples of poverty and social exclusion. Despite Europe being a wealthy society, the issue remains difficult to solve and may even be getting worse in some countries."

This is particularly relevant as a global issue, one that has no borders and has to be dealt with even in societies that have a larger 'social net' than we do.
