Homelessness in Chile,
Winter is here again; consistently, it will hit the vulnerable the hardest.
Every night, 21,000+ people find themselves without a place to go or sleep with dignity and security. The main reason is the affordable housing crisis.
Homelessness is inhuman and one of the cruelest and most degrading ways of poverty, but it is also a matter of essential rights denied.
The factors that trigger this tragedy are many, among others, the lack of affordable housing, long stories of deprivations, social exclusion, traumatic events, personal crises, mental health, addictions, etc.
Feeling unwanted or ignored is one of the cruelest and most degrading ways of poverty. Historically, people experiencing homelessness have been socially excluded, a matter of fundamental rights not fulfilled yet.
