Evaluation of the Use of Social Services for Homeless People in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Homelessness is considered a serious individual and social problem (highlighted in its negative consequences), and thus a challenge for the policymakers in developed countries. In European countries, wide range of special services are offered that are aimed at a reduction of the number of homeless people living in a public space. In the Czech Republic, services for homeless people are regarded as a part of social prevention services and are focused on basic human and housing needs of the individuals living in this extreme form of the social exclusion. Supply of these services and the number of their users differ, when the Czech territorial self-governing units (regions) are considered. The aim of the paper is to identify, describe and evaluate the extensity of the use of selected types of the social services for homeless people in 14 regions of the Czech Republic. Research is focused on three types of homeless services: low-threshold day centres, homeless shelters and asylum houses and covers period of years 2015-2018. Findings presented in the paper confirm general trends observed also in other European countries, namely higher share of men than women in homeless population, simultaneously connected with the increasing experience of women and children with homelessness.
