Paseo Mallorca doesn't just freeze: How island politics leave the homeless stranded

Answer

Why are there still people sleeping outside in Mallorca during cold weather?

People can still end up sleeping outside when emergency shelter capacity is too limited, coordination is weak, or they do not fit easily into standard services. In Mallorca, the problem is also tied to housing pressure, mental health needs, and unstable work or income. A winter plan helps only if it is backed by enough places and active outreach.
