In 2016, the Office of the Children’s Right s Commissioner in Flanders investigated the housing policy area in a thorough way. The Commi ssioner’s Office initiative gave an uncommon centrality to homeless children’s views and experiences and complemented the existing evidence on homelessness among children and young people by conducting a qualitative research into the topic. The initiative had two major goals: bringing to light the dramatic living conditions of homeless children and young people in Flanders and to promote positive change at a structural level, by promoting a global approach model which comprehensively covers the multidimensionality of children’s experiences, revisited through their own perception.
