Secondly, it analyzes the existing legal and policy framework, and thirdly, it refers to existing measures to prevent and tackle homelessness and what Covid-19 measures have taught us. The chapter concludes by reflecting on challenges and recommendations for combatting homelessness in the future in Spain.
