Housing Poverty In Chile
- 1,825 Individuals served in FY2021
- 1,825 people served through professional services
- Projects: construction, reconstruction, education
We work with communities and families to provide housing solutions, training for communities and offering different services in an efficient and sustainable way, thus benefiting the whole nation.
Due to socio-environmental disasters such as earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and forest fires, Chile is a country in permanent reconstruction. It has much to learn to better face nature’s challenges and reduce constant vulnerability.
“Our Children Return Home” Project
Under the Nuestros hijos vuelven a casa or “Our Children Return Home” program, we build rooms and make home improvements so that sick children can be with their families at home during difficult times.
Disaster Response
Habitat for Humanity Chile works in partnership with other institutions in response to the different socio-environmental disasters the country faces. Programs for toolkits and reconstruction work such as building of houses, among others, have been developed for families and communities.
High-rise Extensions
In the 1980s, thousands of affordable housing units were built to counter the major housing deficit during that time. Thousands of families became owners of 387.5 to 409 square feet apartments. But since the units were in high-rise buildings, the living space cannott be easily extended in a safe and harmonious way.
Habitat Chile and other stakeholders have been able to change the lives of these families by making high-rise extensions, which increase the area of each apartment and improve the buildings’ quality and architecture.
