Cem (42) slept in porches, parks, under viaducts or in the Nijreesbos. But the municipality of Almelo no longer allows him to do that. She is tired of all those homeless people sleeping on the street and acts with a line in the app. This rule gives boas the opportunity to take action against ‘street sleepers’. The homeless are dismayed. “What should we do now!”
Cem fell into ruin due to all kinds of problems and was homeless in Almelo for six months. Even when it was freezing at night, he slept in porches, parks, under viaducts or in the woods. “In a thick coat,” he says. “I didn’t have a shelter suit. Living on the street is hard. Especially when it’s cold. Sometimes I would break into a building.”
‘Dozens sleep outside in Almelo’
This is a thing of the past for Cem, he has a roof over his head again. But he was far from the only one in Almelo who slept on the street.
