When Work Isn't Enough: Palma and the Growing Number of Homeless People

Answer

Why are more people without housing in Palma even though they have jobs?

In Palma, rising rents, deposits and agency fees can make it impossible to secure a flat even for people who are employed. Many of those affected work in low-paid or insecure jobs and simply cannot keep up with housing costs. That is why homelessness in Mallorca increasingly includes workers, not only people without income.
