  11. - Almost all Member States identify homelessness and housing exclusion as a concern. National or local strategies are essential to raise awareness, improve policy coordination and implementation, and identify resources. - The sharing of responsibility for policy and delivery between national and local authorities, service providers and NGOs is often complex. The most successful strategies display effective governance with strong co-operation between all involved. - Strategies are generally made more effective with targets, such as on the prevention of homelessness; a reduction in its duration; targeting the most severe homelessness; the improvement of the quality of services for homeless people or on the supply of affordable housing. - Accurate and consistent data on HHE is still lacking in most Member States and this constitutes one of the main obstacles for the development of robust, evidence-based policies. The forthcoming Census represents a unique opportunity to collect harmonized data in this area. 2010 Joint Report on Social Protection & Social Inclusion

  12. -The multiple causes of HHE are often compounded and integrated policies, in line with the active inclusion common principles, are needed, combining financial support to individuals, effective regulation and quality social services. Social and public housing are often the main solution for HHE, but excess demand is widespread and the quality of housing stocks remains a challenge. In this context, the EU structural funds, in particular the ERDF , could play an important role. Concentrations of housing exclusion and homelessness can only be addressed through housing and urban regeneration programmes to promote sustainable communities and social mix.
