The entities HOGAR SÍ and Provivienda have carried out the transfer workshop "Housing Rights: The challenge of deinstitutionalizing the homelessness care system". The workshop was attended by officials from the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030, the Ministry of Youth and Children and the General Secretariat of Public Policies, European Affairs and Strategic Prospective in the Presidency of the Government.
Since 2022 HOGAR SÍ and Provivienda, in collaboration with 12 local and regional public administrations, are implementing the innovation projects Housing Rights and H4Y FUTURO with funding from Next Generation funds through the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan of the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030. The projects seek to transform the current system of care for homelessness, aimed at promoting autonomy, increasing people's control and choice and guaranteeing their right to live independently in housing in the community.
Within this framework, Provivienda and HOGAR SÍ organized the transfer workshop "Housing Rights: The challenge of deinstitutionalizing the homelessness care system" on Monday, May 27. The workshop was opened by Patricia Bezunartea, Director General of Family Diversity and Social Services. Also present were officials from the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030, the Ministry of Youth and Children and the General Secretariat of Public Policies, European Affairs and Strategic Prospective in the Presidency of the Government. Some of the people attending the workshop were Berta González and Liliana Marcos, advisors to the Secretary of State for Social Rights; Carlos Utrilla, director of the Euro-Latin American Youth Center, CEULAJ (INJUVE); and Javier Baraibar, advisor to the General Secretariat for Public Policy, European Affairs and Strategic Foresight, at the Presidency of the Government - La Moncloa.
The objective of this action was to initiate a process of transferring the accompaniment models and the lessons learned from the projects to public policies, from the perspective of deinstitutionalization, autonomy and community life. During the day, the piloted accompaniment model was presented, as well as the intermediate results obtained and the main lessons learned from the projects. Later, a space for work and reflection was held for the incorporation of some of these lessons learned in the operation of the policies.
In this context, this has been the first of a series of transfer actions that will be carried out in this last year of project implementation aimed at public administrations, to share knowledge and incorporate some piloted solutions to public policies at state and regional level.
