Homelessness: a complex phenomenon

Try asking those who live on the street what they want and they will answer: "a house"

Poverty, loss of ties, mental distress, trauma, addictions, prison: the causes of homelessness are many, and more and more people are involved. However, the solutions generally adopted are fragmented and ineffective, considering the home as a point of arrival. Instead, we want to reverse the plans: overcoming homelessness must start from the home. PsyPlus intends to promote inclusion and care, with acts of concrete social solidarity and by putting fundamental scientific knowledge into the system for the definition of effective community interventions.

The network

PsyPlus is associated with the fio.PSD (Italian federation of bodies for homeless people) which in turn represents Italy in FEANTSA (European Federation of National Organizations Working with the Homeless)

The specialised farming model

The Housing First model considers housing a human right, which means that those who live on the street must first of all have access to a house. But the house is only the starting point.

Housing Plus!

With the Housing Plus! we intend to bring the Housing First model into the Roman reality. Find how!

A house without steps

My granddaughters have a cloth hut. Inside there is a little bit of everything. The parents, me, the grandmother and all the people they are connected to put in there. The hut has windows and they choose when to lower or raise the blinds. The hut is there, in their room. Sometimes they play it, sometimes they prefer to stay elsewhere.

Of stigmas and stings

And i brands they are the ones we often put on certain stories as well as on people. Especially if they have something that we fear may belong to us and from which we feel the urge to distance ourselves.
