May 4, 2023, Budapest, Hungary: A man with an amputated leg seen sitting between the traffic lights and is begging for money. There has been an ongoing concern regarding homelessness in Hungary, especially in Budapest. Due to the high inflation, the city has seen an increase in the number of people living on the streets. Factors such as poverty, unemployment, mental health issues, and lack of affordable housing contribute to the problem. The Hungarian government and local authorities have implemented various measures to address homelessness. These include providing emergency shelters, social services, and programs aimed at reintegration into society. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and charities also play a role in offering support, such as providing food, clothing, and medical assistance. However, despite these efforts, challenges remain. Limited resources, lack of affordable housing options, and complex social issues make it difficult to completely eradicate homelessness. Additionally, the issue of homelessness is often multifaceted, involving various underlying causes that require comprehensive solutions.
