Zusammenfassung
In Switzerland, there is neither a formal definition of homelessness nor a binding foundation from which legally enforceable claims for individuals affected could be derived. This opens up significant discretionary processes for authorities both towards individuals as well as towards organizations that provide assistance to people affected by homelessness. The chapter explores this and argues it is a significant shortcoming, especially because Switzerland has acceded to various international agreements that aim to improve the life chances of particularly vulnerable societal groups. The chapter explains the history of the relationship between homelessness and the social welfare state in Switzerland, considers the profile and number of people who are homeless, and discusses a possible division of responsibility for combating homelessness between national, regional, and local state actors and non-governmental organizations.
