The pressure on Amersfoort and Utrecht is extra high because people from surrounding areas are moving to the big cities, says Marcel Vonk of Stichting Goud, the advocate for the homeless in Utrecht. “There are also homeless people in Woerden, Stichtse Vecht and De Bilt, for example, but the shelter is simply in the cities.” According to Vonk, the result of the crowds is that people are forced to sleep on the street.
