The Ministry of Demography, Family, Youth and Social Policy, based on the invitation titled “Expanding the network of community based social services – Phase I”<\/p>\n
Homelessness, by its difficulty and complexity, is one of the main societal problems. FEANTSA (European Federation of organisations working with the people who are homeless) has developed a typology of homelessness according to which basic types are defined \u2013 roofless, without a flat\/house, uncertain and inadequate dwelling.<\/p>\n
Two shelters operate at present, in the city of Rijeka – the Shelter of the Association \u201cOaza\u201d and the Roses of St. Francis, which annually take care of about 100 various users. In addition, the City of Rijeka implements the Decision on providing necessary accommodation for use, which means the use of housing units in three locations, and users have at their disposal 180 housing units for about 400 people.<\/p>\n
Although there is organised care of the homeless, there is still a practice and a tendency to find shelter for the homeless in temporary accommodation, while too little is being done about their integration.<\/p>\n
Under the Social Welfare Act homeless people are defined as beneficiaries of social welfare, but social services, especially those in a broader sense, are relatively underdeveloped for this population, and both shelters and emergency accommodation facilities are being converted into permanent accommodation. The experiences of employees indicate the need to hire additional staff, highlight high exposure to professional stress and the need for additional education and supervision. A significant problem is a stigmatising attitude towards the homeless and a lack of awareness of the public which perceive homelessness as an undesirable social problem and want it to be solved, while at the same time they stigmatise the homeless.<\/p>\n
