One of the challenges in accelerating global progress to prevent/end #homelessness is the lack of reliable and comprehensive data. This gap was spotlighted in the 2025 United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Report on Homelessness here: docs.un.org/en/A/80/316. #WorldHomelessDay

El reporte pone en evidencia una realidad contundente: el sinhogarismo es impulsado por inequidades estructurales, estigmas y barreras sistémicas. Poner fin a la falta de vivienda, por tanto, no es solo una prioridad social: es un elemento central para lograr objetivos de desarrollo más amplios.
