The Polish Statistical Update 2006 was written for the European Observatory on Homelessness (EOH) of FEANTSA. It is one of twenty five national reports provided by EOH correspondents for each EU member country.

Their goal is to report on the national data sources on homelessness and their compatibility with the European Typology of Homelessness and Housing Exclusion (ETHOS) in order to facilitate comparative data collection at a European level. The reports are the basis of the creation of a European Statistical Update published each year to provide data for the design and implementation of effective policies to alleviate homelessness and housing exclusion.

The Polish Statistical Update is based on desk analysis of internet sites of the major Polish non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working with the homeless, public institutions with statutory responsibilities for homelessness and housing exclusion, and major information site for Polish NGOs www.wiadomości.ngo.pl. Much of the information was accessed through interviews and e-mail exchanges with responsible informed workers of key organizations and institutions. Only a small fraction of the information comes from available research reports.
