The coronavirus pandemic, which has affected the world, has failed to prevent the fight against homelessness. The international meeting of the project "Homecoming of People Living in the Street by Rehabilitation and Mediation Project (HOPE)" was hosted by Hungarian Partner Human Profess on 18-19 October 2021 with face-to-face participation. Representatives of institutions and organizations from Turkiye, Austria, Italy and Hungary attended the meeting. The meeting where the host made their opening speech was continued with the speech of Professor Doctor Yusuf GENÇ, the coordinator on behalf of Sakarya University.

Stating that the duration of the project was extended for another year with the effect of the pandemic, he said that all activities were continued without slowing down. In the past period, he stated that the training modules prepared for the homeless, homeless families and professional staff working with the homeless have been completed and will be translated into five different languages and transferred to the online learning platform. Stating that with the online learning platform, a unique resource will be produced open to everyone in understanding the problem of homelessness, raising awareness about combating homelessness and producing new strategies, Genç stated that he cares about the sustainability of the project outputs.

At the meeting, where an academic article on the problem of homelessness is about to be published, it was stated that two different books will be produced to understand the problems of the homeless and to develop solutions. In addition, it was emphasized that the gains obtained within the scope of the project will be shared on all kinds of platforms and an important basis will be laid for future studies in the field of homelessness.
