The United States could learn a great deal from the Jury recommendations from the European Consensus Conference on Homelessness (2010) and the preparatory work by FEANTSA (the European Federation of Organizations Working with the Homeless). FEANTSA has served as an important forum for incubating and sharing ideas about combating homelessness, helping countries to learn from one another. Veteran researchers and practitioners can help those with less experience, and advocates everywhere can point to something that another country does better, so as to ratchet up responses to homelessness. The Consensus Conference’s status as an official event of the Council of the European Union, and the Jury’s ability to invoke earlier European conventions and charters lend weight to the conclusions. The Jury has laid out a mandate, if not a detailed roadmap, for ending homelessness in the European Union, and has encouraged the continuing accumulation of evidence about what works best. Our primary reaction is applause. However, a critique is probably more useful to the EU and its Member States as they struggle to fulfil the mandate. Thus, the remainder of this commentary discusses issues of definitions and counts, prevention, the utility of research, and immigration.
