Reason

In recent years, there have been increasing reports of violence against homeless people in Germany. In Karlsruhe, too, the question arises as to how safe this particularly vulnerable group is and what support options are available. At the same time, the number of homeless people has risen in many cities, which underlines the need for effective support measures. Against this background, I would like to ask the city administration for information on the current situation, existing protective measures and planned improvements.
