They get recruited for temporary work and accommodation organized by shady agencies. A few weeks later they are homeless again in another country.

I see. So they're being exploited due to their vulnerable status. Despicable behaviour from people in a position to do better.

So it seems like the actual problem is those shady agencies then, right? They're the one's who are actually causing it to happen.

Yes, I wish we could forbid those. Freedom of movement of people and businesses within the EU has its disadvantages.

Same bud

But I will say for me, those things are only disadvantages because of corruption and intentionality made loopholes that allow businesses to do these shady practices is what's the actual problem. But that's a problem with the system itself and a different discussion entirely.
