The series ‘Addressing Homelessness in Europe’ is the result of the work of the three thematic research groups of FEANTSA’s European Observatory on Homelessness that were set up to cover the
following themes:
- The changing role of the state
- The changing profiles of homeless people

- The portrayal of homelessness in France's written press
- The image of the homeless in two Madrid newspapers
- The profile of the homeless in the Luxembourg press
- Images of homelessness in two Danish daily newspapers
