Gathering explores potential solutions for addressing homelessness
On the 11th of September 2025, Dortmund, Germany, will play host to a significant discussion event focusing on homelessness. The event, scheduled to take place at the Wichern-Wohnungslosenzentrum, Stollenstraße 36, will commence at 5 pm.
The event invites politicians, social administration staff, and all interested citizens to attend. The goal is to foster understanding and empathy towards the homeless community, while advocating for better support and resources for them.
Homeless individuals themselves will have the opportunity to share their experiences, challenges, and perspectives during the event. The focus will be on topics such as experiences with emergency shelters, daily life on the streets, problems in finding housing, and help needed to keep an apartment.
Besides local aid organizations like bodo, Diakonie, Gast-Haus, GrünBau, Soziales Zentrum, VSE, and Wärmebus, no other specific organizations are mentioned as involved in organizing the discussion forum.
The event encourages conversation about the experiences of homeless people and provides a platform for them to speak for themselves and share their experiences and insights. The workshops will offer an opportunity for participants to discuss and share their experiences and insights with others in similar situations.
The Dortmund City Council has committed to a goal in 2024: every homeless person and those at risk of homelessness will receive a suitable housing offer by 2030. The event's results will be used to achieve the goal of the National Action Plan to overcome homelessness.
Guests can engage in personal conversation from 4 pm, with free food and drinks provided. The event also encourages exchange at eye level with politics, administration, and civil society. There will also be space for personal topics, aiming to give a voice to those who are often discussed politically but have little opportunity to express their views publicly.
By giving a voice to the homeless community, the event aims to change the narrative about homeless people and provide valuable insights for those working towards solutions to end homelessness.
