Decent Night Program Component of the National In-the-Street Plan 2011- 2014
14
This program is the result of a presidential announcement in the May 21 speech, which reflects a government commitment to People Living in the Street and is considered a fundamental element of public policy aimed at this population. At least two components are considered: (i) Winter Plan; (ii) Openings in temporary lodging for the remainder of the year in a mode that makes it possible to get off the street (spending the night under a roof). This program was presented to the Treasury budget office with a $8,664 Billion budget, which comprises coverage for 6,000 daily openings in temporary lodging, including shelters, hospices and homes throughout the year. The Decent Night users will extend beyond the Solidary Chile users Should it be approved, this program will work in the SEPS and a task force shall be established and administration expenses assigned for the implementation of the technical model. There will be a communications strategy linking the community to the volunteer. Principal Features
