# Measures on homelessness and for tenants and mortgage-holders across Europe (Arena, April-June 2020)

* In April 2020, the Arena Housing Project initiated **two open databases and an interactive map to compile announcements made and measures taken by different local and national authorities regarding housing during the coronavirus crisis**:
  * [Announcements regarding the homeless](https://housing.journalismarena.eu/apps/onlyoffice/s/fkxxF3XR9aspTZ3)
  * [Measures on evictions and for tenants and mortgage-holders](https://housing.journalismarena.eu/apps/onlyoffice/s/qPzEYFGQamTwpqf)
  * [Map showing measures about housing during the coronavirus crisis in Europe](https://maphub.net/JournalismArena/housing-and-the-coronavirus-crisis-in-europe)
* The idea is that journalists and other researchers can have a comprehensive database of such announcements and measures (when and where they were made, what was promised...) **so that they can do follow-up research and reporting**:
  * What actually happened afterwards?
  * How were those measures implemented? Maybe they weren't?
  * Were did the money go?
  * How were they enforced?
  * What consequences have they been having?

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://housing-base.journalismarena.eu/access-to-housing/law-regulations-and-other-policy/measures-during-the-coronavirus-crisis-in-2020/measures-on-homelessness-and-for-tenants-and-mortgage-holders-across-europe-arena-april-june-2020.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
