More Safe Spaces For Homeless Around Hungary

Night shelters have been filled to 84% capacity across the country so far this year.

The 9,600 places available for the homeless throughout Hungary have been increased by 1,500 places.

The cabinet is providing Ft 360 million for extra costs during the crisis period, with a further Ft 50 million set aside to cope with the possibility of rising costs due to the extreme cold weather.
