DESCRIPTION
This scheme offers temporary alternative accommodation in shared homes for families with children under 18 who are suffering social and residential exclusion following eviction from their usual place of residence. Adults without children seeking accommodation must be of legal age and younger than 65 years old, and the accommodation may be either in boarding houses or shared homes.
During their stay in temporary accommodation, intensive individual and group intervention is conducted with respect to professional, educational and social factors, aimed at recovering their housing independence.
Alternative accommodation for families is provided in homes (60), with over 480 places available in total. The homes are located all over the city of Madrid, near public transport and basic services.
Alternative accommodation for adults is provided under conditions of social integration and normalisation, with guaranteed daily availability of 166 places: 103 places in boarding houses and 63 places in 16 different homes.
