Overview
- The November 2025 operational census identified 5,176 people in homelessness, including 3,563 in Centros de Inclusión Social and 1,613 sleeping in public spaces.
- Year over year, the street count rose about 30% and shelter residents increased 26%, reflecting both new inflows and expanded capacity.
- The city added 10 shelters in 2025 for a total of 58 and about 4,900 beds, reported roughly 85% occupancy, and deployed overnight buses as an interim refuge.
- Data show a population that is predominantly adult men and largely born outside CABA, with the lowest recorded presence of minors in the street count.
- Social organizations’ June 2025 multi-day survey estimated 11,892 people, more than double the city’s one-night count, underscoring ongoing methodological disputes.
