Homeless Persons Day is observed in Russia on March 30 each year, serving as an annual awareness campaign to highlight the challenges faced by homeless individuals. The day was first celebrated on March 27, 2017, and has since gained support from various charitable organizations, with Nochlezhka being the key organizer. This charity provides numerous services, including shelters, legal and social counseling, and mobile units that distribute hot meals and clothing. The issue of homelessness in Russia has escalated since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, with estimates of homeless individuals ranging from 1.5 to 3 million, primarily concentrated in large cities. Common causes of homelessness include family conflicts, job-related housing issues, and real estate fraud. The majority of homeless people in Russia are men, with an average age of around 45 years, and vulnerable groups include former prisoners and migrants.
