Overview

• Social organizations including Fundación Vivienda Digna, TECHO, Mujeres 2000, Módulo Sanitario and Hábitat para la Humanidad Argentina report a widespread housing emergency.
• Official datasets cited include RENABAP’s count of more than 5 million people in popular neighborhoods, census data showing 6 million without a bathroom, and EPH/INDEC figures of over 1 million in critical overcrowding.
• The groups define adequate housing by five benchmarks: secure tenure, basic services, habitability, accessibility and a location near jobs and essential services.
• The coalition launched Conectando Hábitat for World Habitat Day, using dramatized, AI-animated stories to humanize the data and elevate residents’ experiences.
• Coverage notes a policy backdrop in which the government says it will double housing investment to about $700 million, a claim questioned by opposition figures.
