How many homeless people are there in Cyprus: The 225 are only those who were registered

A new OECD report estimates the homeless population in Cyprus for 2024 at 225 people, representing 0.02% of the total population. However, experts warn that this figure is inaccurate, as it only counts individuals who utilized emergency housing services, excluding those sleeping on the streets, in cars, or with acquaintances. The report highlights that the absence of a national strategy and a formal statistical definition makes it impossible for the state to adequately address housing insecurity and design effective support policies.
