According to the report, many people lose their apartment due to rent debts. 47 % of homeless people have not tried for help to avert the loss. The survey is intended to develop options for action in order to combat housing and homelessness in Germany.

The need for political solutions is clear, since 79 % of homeless people without accommodation are alone and on average 44 years old. The Social Code II and XII provides for various support options for people threatened by homelessness, but help often remains unused.
