Here, a social service is developed with people in extreme poverty and living in social exclusion, especially street homeless young people, adults and elder, both men and women. There are eight different programs to receive these people:

These programs are intended to foster support spaces for basic needs (lodging, food, clothing, health care assistance, etc.), as well as specialized services (psychological and social interviews, motivation interviews, psychiatric assistance, etc.); thus, promoting the integration of these people into social networks.

At present, one of the greatest challenges for this area is to develop initiatives to address the diversity and complexity of poverty, which widely differs from that of the previous decades. The constant reflection on these issues made us review, question and propose alternatives to address this reality from a more efficient and innovative point of view.

Embracement Program

Starting in 2002, this program was a merge of the Individual Assistance Program with the Street Homeless Adults Program. Its purpose is to give shelter to and support people over 18 years old who live in the streets, favoring their integration into social networks. This work is addressed differently, through our offices, and the day and night visits of professional volunteers to the street homeless people.

Daily support, direction, and information on social services, basic services, feeding, clothing, lodging, as well as psychological and social assistance and management is provided for derivation to networks.
