Cuando te quedas en la calle tras 30 años de trabajo y con una casa familiar ocupada que no puedes recuperar: “Nunca pensé terminar así”

The article illustrates the structural complexity of homelessness in Spain, highlighting that residential exclusion is not merely a consequence of lacking a roof, but rather the result of a failing system that affects precarious workers and individuals with psychosocial traumas. The shortage of affordable housing and limited access to basic services, such as water during heatwaves, reveal a systemic vulnerability that goes beyond traditional stereotypes of extreme poverty. The reality described shows that many homeless individuals come from formal or informal jobs with low pay, where job instability and judicial bureaucracy prevent them from regaining their dignity. This situation exposes a critical gap between the need for comprehensive housing policies and the current assistance model, which often focuses on immediate emergency response without addressing the root causes of social exclusion and discrimination. This case is relevant to open data because it underscores the urgency of having disaggregated, real-time statistics on the diverse homeless population. To design effective public policies, it is necessary to access data that link employment, mental health, and housing access, enabling the identification of hidden patterns such as the rise of the working poor or the differential impact by gender, thereby facilitating more precise and humane interventions.
