GHENT - In the autumn of 2020, in the midst of a severe lockdown, dozens of Ghent-based organisations joined forces to map out homelessness and precarious housing situations.

They counted more than 1,800 people wandering around Ghent without a fixed residence. Among them are some 400 children. In the meantime, the scarcity on an increasingly expensive rental market remains considerable.

In the photo series Zonder (t)huis Brecht De Vleeschauwer follows a number of inhabitants of Ghent who have to fight for a place on the rental market.
