170,000 elderly homeless in EU and UK, shelters ill-equipped

FEANTSA estimates 166,261 people over 65 are homeless across the EU and UK, a figure that is rising as overall homelessness increases. Emergency housing is not designed for elderly needs, signaling a growing humanitarian and social-policy challenge. The estimate is based on association data and may undercount hidden homelessness.
