Switzerland
Homelessness in Switzerland is a known social issue, however, there are few estimates as to the number of Swiss people affected. Homelessness is less visible in Switzerland than in many other Western countries. The majority of homeless people in Geneva are Swiss or French, with a minority from other countries.One Swiss study found that 1.6 percent of all patients admitted to psychiatric wards were homeless. The study reported that social factors and psychopathology are independently contributing to the risk of homelessness.In 2014, Swiss authorities reportedly began allowing homeless people to sleep in fallout shelters built during the Cold War.There are a number of centers for providing food for the homeless, including the Suneboge community center. United Kingdom
Homelessness across the UK is a devolved matter, resulting in different legislation, frameworks, and even definitions, from country to country. Since the late 1990s, housing policy has been a devolved matter, and state support for homeless people, together with legal rights in housing, have therefore diverged to a certain degree.
Some see homelessness as more free than living in a house or apartment, and prefer being in nature, as well as away from other people. Some may have had a traumatic experience in a house or apartment, such as a fire, and feel safer outside, being able to survey their surroundings. Challenges
The basic problem of homelessness is the need for personal shelter, warmth, and safety. Other difficulties include:

Hygiene and sanitary facilities
Hostility from the public and laws against urban vagrancy
Cleaning and drying of clothes
Obtaining, preparing, and storing food
Keeping contact with friends, family, and government service providers without a permanent location or mailing address
Medical problems, including issues caused by an individuals homeless state (e.g., hypothermia or frostbite from sleeping outside in cold weather), or issues which are exacerbated by homelessness due to lack of access to treatment (e.g., mental health and the individual not having a place to store prescription drugs)
Personal security, quiet, and privacy, especially for sleeping, bathing, and other hygiene activities
Safekeeping of bedding, clothing, and possessions, which may have to be carried at all timesPeople experiencing homelessness face many problems beyond the lack of a safe and suitable home.
