updates: Chile is also facing a homelessness crisis due to a pandemic-induced recession, housing crunch, and immigration influx. The rate of homelessness in Chile has increased by more than 30% over the last four years. The government has registered 21,126 homeless people this year, but social workers estimate the real count to be around 40,000. The government has announced that it will include the homeless in its national census for the first time, which is expected to lead to more effective social policies. The visibility of homelessness in Chile has pushed the problem up on the agenda, and the police have been tearing down encampments. The housing crisis has been exacerbated by a 70% increase in housing prices over the last decade. The homeless population in Chile has seen a demographic shift, with more women and children on the streets due to the affordable housing crunch. The pandemic lockdowns and economic hardships have also affected Chile's economy, making it difficult for many to pay rent. The rise in homelessness is also attributed to the increase in undocumented migrants, with nearly 1.6 million registered migrants in Chile. Aid groups are pressuring the government to address the crisis, as there are fewer than 200 homeless shelters nationwide, which is not enough to accommodate the current homeless population. President Gabriel Boric has vowed to build 260,000 new government-sponsored houses during his term to address the issue.
