The count is part of the international project &#8220;European Homelessness Count,&#8221; which took place in 35 cities across Europe during the same month, coordinated by the University of Leuven and funded by the European Commission&#8217;s Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (DG EMPL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The count covered people living rough as well as those using various services, such as temporary accommodation or day support. The count was the result of a multi-month preparatory process involving mapping and locating homeless people, zoning Sofia, conducting numerous interviews with service providers, and piloting a survey of homeless people. This was not just a count, but also a profiling which is essential for the development of appropriate policies for the most vulnerable group among the vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The count of people sleeping rough involved 53 volunteer counters and 10 coordinators, who were trained in advance and worked in the field for 3 days. We are grateful to all of them for the enthusiasm, responsibility, and humanity they showed in this difficult task, walking long distances in their count areas. The count in the services would not have been possible without the invaluable participation of social workers from the Temporary Accommodation Centers and day services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The count would not have been successful also without the support of the Bulgarian Red Cross and the Order of Malta, which provided us with important logistical support and assisted in the process by providing materials for gifts for homeless people, which greatly contributed to the smooth running of the count and provided support for people living in particularly vulnerable conditions. We also express our heartfelt gratitude to the Bulgarian Red Cross and the Bulgarian Youth Red Cross for their donation of 2,000 pairs of socks, 1,000 towels, 408 blankets, 300 pairs of shoes, numerous sanitary pads, shampoos, and toothpaste, which were distributed to homeless people. We are grateful to the Order of Malta, whose financial support enabled us to provide chocolate candies, chocolate bars, and packets of instant coffee for 1,000 gifts for the homeless. These donations are an example of humanity, solidarity, and social responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To carry out this activity, we sought and received assistance from organizations that work daily with homeless people in the field\u2014Caritas, Concordia, Mission Without Borders, and the Center for Humane Policies\u2014whose help ensured that the distribution of donations and communication proceeded in the best possible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The support provided by the Bulgarian Red Cross to the field teams was also extremely valuable to us, providing 50 sandwiches and bottles of water for each of the three days of the count. This care for the volunteers and counters was received with great gratitude and created a feeling of support and solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the moment, the data is still being processed and we cannot share the exact number of homeless people in Sofia, nor can we provide accurate information about their profiles. However, we can report that homelessness is not as widespread in Sofia as in other European cities where homeless people have been counted in previous years. The number of homeless people living on the streets and in temporary accommodation services in Sofia is several times lower than in some European cities with a similar population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On November 17, 2025, a press conference was held at the Sofia Municipality building, where details about the homeless count in the capital were presented.
