by Catherine MALLET
In a recent letter to The European Commission, The Salvation Army, EU Affairs Office, together with Eurodiaconia and FEANTSA welcomed recent commitments made to addressing homelessness in the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda as well as the newly adopted Pillar of Social Rights.
