Homeless in Amsterdam

The number of homeless people in the Netherlands has risen in recent years to 39,000 in 2018. Although the figures appear to be stagnating, according to the CBS, as of January 1, 2020, the Netherlands still has 36,000 homeless people. In 2020 we will have approximately 4,700 people in Amsterdam-Amstelland with customized services within Social Relief and Protected Living, and this is still far from sufficient, because there are also approximately 2,000 people on a waiting list. That is still too many. It concerns adults, young adults and families with children who for various reasons do not have a roof over their heads.
