The administration has met this Thursday the people living in three of the houses of the projects financed by the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 through the Recovery Plan and the Next Generation EU funds.
Karen is a young Honduran woman who, after losing her job as a house intern, found herself in a situation of homelessness and turned to the H4Y FUTURO program in Madrid, developed by HOGAR SÍ and Provivienda, in March. Now, six months after joining this initiative, which specializes in responding to the challenge of youth homelessness, Karen is rebuilding her life and has shown this to the Secretary of State for Social Rights. The young woman has found work again thanks to the stability provided by having a home and the personalized support she has received from the program.
This is one of the faces that has been present this Thursday at the visit of the Secretary of State for Social Rights to two homes of the H4Y FUTURO program and one of Housing Rights. The two innovation projects seek to transform the network of care for homelessness in Spain by providing solutions tailored to each person for the safe and chosen transition to a life in community.
The H4Y FUTURO program also welcomed Rafa, Héctor and Adán in April. The three young people, who had met in other care systems, decided to move in together in one of the initiative's homes, where they were able to resume their future projects that they had put aside when they were homeless. In this housing, the Secretary of State for Social Rights has been discovering the interests and ambitions of these three young people who are already in the process of looking for work and resuming their studies.
The Housing Rights initiative promotes the deinstitutionalization processes of people experiencing homelessness, facilitating their incorporation into housing-based programs and integrated services in the community. Such is the case of Ernesto and Ángel, who entered a housing program in February 2022. Both knew each other previously and, after living together, have built a mutually supportive relationship that, they believe, will be key to their autonomous exit from the program, the main objective of the Housing Rights and H4Y FUTURO projects.
