The first HomeBound Horizons newsletter (15 August 2026) introduces the project and its partners from Germany, Portugal, Greece and Croatia. It reports on the Kick-off Meeting in Berlin in January 2026 and presents the key figures and findings of the transnational needs assessment: 40 interviews with people experiencing homelessness and 138 questionnaires with professionals. It also presents a story from the field and the structure of the 40-hour Empowerment & Employability curriculum, and looks ahead to the next activities. It is written for support services, adult educators, employers, public authorities and everyone interested in new approaches to homelessness and employability.
