Overview
- Social Affairs officials say more than 180 people from the December B9 eviction are now in temporary housing and inclusion programs, after initially rehoming about 150 and relocating the last 30 in recent weeks.
- Badalona Acull reports that roughly a dozen former B9 residents and additional non-B9 homeless individuals still sleep under the bridge, complicating official counts.
- Mayor Xavier García Albiol has asked the Generalitat for permission to enforce anti-camping rules on the C-31 site, which sits on regional land, citing a municipal ordinance.
- Residents from Sant Roc blocked the C-31 for about two hours on Tuesday, with police forces from the Guàrdia Urbana, Mossos d'Esquadra and Policía Nacional deployed to mediate.
- Drets Socials is preparing a three-year plan to support about 5,000 people experiencing homelessness, with increased local funding, expanded outreach, and coordination to speed administrative regularization for eligible migrants.
