tshwane brings 200 homeless to a meeting May 25-26, 2015 to hear their stories (today tshwane is chosen internationally to end homelessness by 2030)

On 25 and 26 May 2015, over 400 people gathered in a city centre museum to contemplate pathways out of homelessness. The gathering included officials and politicians, researchers and practitioners, business and police, but what made it significant was that 50% of the gathering consisted of homeless people themselves.This event profiled street homelessness in a new way and helped to create momentum and visibility for a challenge in the City of Tshwane never before tackled collaboratively.

Out of a city budget of 248 billion South African Rand, only 650,000 were available to address homelessness in 2014. This was indicative of the way in which homelessness was not addressed collectively.
