Because of austerity measures being imposed by national governments (throughout the European Union): EU homelessness is increasing (and will continue to increase) throughout the European Union. Accordingly, increasing numbers of EU Citizens are finding themselves homeless, and this number will inevitably rise across the Union.

Given that the European Parliament is elected by the citizens of the European Union to act on our behalf. The purpose of this petition is to produce an EU CITIZENS' MANDATE to 'mandate' the European Parliament to engage itself in addressing the needs of a growing number of it's own constituents and electorate.
