Justification:
The RED CALLE project contributes to Target 11.1 by integrating the Ministries of Housing in addressing the issue of street people (SP) in all the intervention countries, which also face various forms and variants of severe residential exclusion in their cities. Homelessness is one of the most obvious representations of poverty, as well as one of the least discussed and visible issues of public policies aimed at tackling SP. Furthermore, homelessness is directly related to deteriorating health and it reduces life expectancy.
Indicator 11.1.1
Proportion of urban population living in slums, informal settlements or inadequate housing
Justification:
The project contributes to this indicator by giving visibility to this issue in the different countries that make up the network as well as in the region. The right to adequate housing is a fundamental right, which is why States must guarantee access to decent living spaces where people in street situations (SP) can develop their potential, while also guaranteeing access to different basic services.
