One in Three Argentine Families Live in Inadequate Housing, NGO Coalition Warns

Backed by official statistics, social organizations publish new findings that elevate the housing crisis on World Habitat Day.

Overview

  • The coalition—Fundación Vivienda Digna, TECHO, Mujeres 2000, Módulo Sanitario and Habitat for Humanity Argentina—bases its analysis on RENABAP, National Census and INDEC/EPH data.
  • More than 5 million people live in barrios populares, 6 million lack a bathroom at home, and over 1 million face critical overcrowding, according to official records.
  • The report describes widespread precarious construction, lack of potable water, unsafe electrical installations and inadequate sanitation.
  • The organizations launched Conectando Hábitat, a digital platform that uses AI-driven dramatizations to highlight real housing experiences and drive public engagement.
  • Coverage underscores that governmental policy and funding responses remain limited or disputed when measured against the scale of need outlined.
