Yaser has been homeless for 10 years: "Everyone has the right to a roof over their heads"

Sanna Detlefsen agrees with the singing with the visitors at Linköping's City Mission contact center.

She is the director of the operations in Östergötland and points out the importance of the municipalities in the county should do more to support vulnerable people without housing.

- The municipalities need to shoulder the work of preventing homelessness, she says.

Been homeless for ten years

Yaser is one of the visitors to the contact center.

For ten years he has been without a permanent home and the strain it brings feels clear.

- It is difficult mentally and physically.

Everyone has the right to a roof over their heads, states Yaser.

Yaser describes his situation as "special".

"The situation is extensive"

Sousan Massi Nylander is unit manager at the non-profit organization The Whole Man in Norrköping.

In an email to SVT, she writes that the situation for the homeless in Norrköping is serious and that the municipality should increase the resources for vulnerable individuals.

- The situation for the homeless in Norrköping is extensive, I would like to say, we can see that there are more people who claim to live in homelessness today than 10 years ago, explains Sousan Massi Nylander.
