2 published verifications about Hogares De Paso Hogares De Paso ×
“Medellín Cómo Vamos reported that long-term follow-up for people served by Hogares de Paso in Medellín, Colombia was limited during 2023–2025.”
The evidence only weakly supports attributing this specific finding to Medellín Cómo Vamos. Secondary media reports from 2024–2025 quote remarks that follow-up for street-homeless services, including Hogares de Paso, was limited, but no primary Medellín Cómo Vamos report has been verified with that exact program-specific conclusion. The claim therefore overstates the precision and formality of what Medellín Cómo Vamos documented.
“Between 2023 and 2025, Medellín's "Hogares de Paso" functioned mainly as precarious assistance services rather than as programs that achieved meaningful social inclusion for people experiencing homelessness.”
Evidence indicates Medellín’s Hogares de Paso mainly operated as short-term assistance services during 2023–2025, not as a system that routinely delivered durable social inclusion. Municipal and independent reports alike emphasize shelter, food, and basic care, while documenting weaker links to stable housing, employment, and long-term follow-up. Some people did exit homelessness or enter resocialization routes, but the available data do not show those outcomes were the dominant pattern.
