The Night Home, in 2024
Last year more than 6 thousand squares were occupied, offering a safe and warm place to spend the night.
One of the most prominent achievements in the previous edition was family revinculation, since we worked with 40% of those housed, (25 cases), to strengthen their family ties and promote their sociofamily insertion. This was obtained through family strengthening strategies, openness to dialogue, emotions management, acquisition of tools and personal resources, as well as the recognition of independence and self -management as the only way close to social autonomy.
