Freek Spinnewijn, Director of the European Federation of National Organisations working with the Homeless (FEANTSA), expressed his concern, on Thursday 23 and Friday 24 July, about the budget cuts decided by Member States for the European Social Fund plus (ESF+) and for the European Union's Employment and Social Innovation Programme (EaSI).
The agreement reached by the Member States (see EUROPE B12532A2) sets the ESF+ budget at €87.7 billion and €676 million for the EaSI programme.
