Emergency accommodation in Cascais for unaccompanied foreign children and minors

Unaccompanied foreign children and minors who enter Portugal are, from next month, to be housed in ‘emergency accommodation’ set up in the borough of Cascais “so that they do not live on the streets, and can choose a future”, writes Expresso, referring to a new protocol signed between Lisbon municipality, Casa Pia (children’s charity) and the Portuguese Red Cross. The issue of ‘homeless migrants’, particularly in Lisbon, is a problem in the capital that authorities have vowed to tackle.
