Summary/Abstract: Building on József Liszka’s contribution on „Child Exchange as a Method of Acquiring Foreign Languages“, (Liszka 2003) this article addresses support services for the homeless. First, I describe widespread public attitudes toward this target group, as well as the specific characteristics of men, women, children and families experiencing homelessness. Statistical records of the homeless and housed in Germany have only been available since 2025. Although the European Parliament resolved in November 2020 to eliminate homelessness in the European Union, EU member states tend to avoid this obligation. Using Munich as an example, the study describes the public and private support options available in metropolitan areas. A selected look at locations in the Rosenheim district illustrates the types of support available in rural villages.
