Madrid Tackles Homelessness at Barajas Airport: Housing and Support Pledged

Madrid Addresses Homelessness at Barajas Airport Madrid is taking steps to address the issue of homelessness at its Barajas Airport. The city council announced it will offer housing solutions to those sleeping in the airport's terminals, while airport operator Aena has committed to identifying the approximately 400 individuals currently residing there. This coordinated effort follows a recent meeting between the two organizations. "The aim is to provide a dignified solution for those without a home," stated a representative from the Madrid City Council. Aena representatives added that identifying the individuals is crucial to providing targeted assistance and support. While these measures are being implemented, access controls to the airport between 9 PM and 5 AM will remain in place. This collaborative approach signals a commitment to addressing a complex social issue within the context of a major transportation hub. The initiative offers hope for a more humane and effective solution to homelessness in the city.
