Ministry of Planning (MIDEPLAN) transfers financial and technical resources to enable civil society organizations to run programs. These organizations must comply with
pre-determined standards associated with quality and experience with interventions in these kinds of populations. The organizations replicate a defined model of
intervention, with latitude to adjust methodology. MIDEPLAN performs technical supervision and support to insure correct program implementation.

Citizen Commitment
Gather and analyze relevant information with regards to the at-risk population and those already living in the street, to support decision making regarding public policy at the different territorial levels
Strengthen range of public programs through evaluation, articulation and creation of initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life and overcoming the condition of living in the street.
Design a strategy that involves a comprehensive approach to preventing, mitigating and eradicating the situation that leads to children and adolescents living in the street, working jointly with the new National Service for Minors SENAME
Lend support to the coordination of inter-ministry initiatives and those of other agencies to insure availability of lodging alternatives for people living in the street (shelters, hospices, nursing homes and rent subsidy)
Promote a culture based on respect and solidarity among all social groups in order to eradicate prejudice and discrimination against people living in the streets
This governmental strategy is aimed at the design and implementation of a Public Policy for People Living in the Street. This is an initiative lead by the Ministry of Planning (MIDEPLAN) with the participation of various public services, social and business organizations. It works in five areas:
National In-the-Street Plan 2011 - 2014
Our Commitment
Prevent :• There are multiple causes for being in a situation of living
in street: personal, family breakdown, structural, institution exit (release from prison, discharge from children’s institution.
Protect: • The people living in the street are subject to conditions that are conducive to risks to their physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. Alternatives must be deployed to mitigate this situation at all levels, with diversified intervention strategies to reveal the diversity of options
Promote:• People living in the street possess skills and strengths that
can be deployed to carry out their life projects. It is essential to support the active inclusion of people through jobs and working jointly to this end with the labor market.

Decent Night ProgramComponent of the National In-the-Street Plan2011- 2014
This program is the result of a presidential announcement in the May 21 speech, which reflects a government commitment to People Living in the Street and is considered a fundamental element of public policy aimed at this population.
At least two components are considered: (i) Winter Plan; (ii) Openings in temporary lodging for the remainder of the year in a mode that makes it possible to get off the street (spending the night under a roof).
This program was presented to the Treasury budget office with a $8,664 Billion budget, which comprises coverage for 6,000 daily openings in temporary lodging, including shelters, hospices and homes throughout the year.
The Decent Night users will extend beyond the Solidary Chile users
Should it be approved, this program will work in the SEPS and a task force shall be established and administration expenses assigned for the implementation of the technical model. There will be a communications strategy linking the community to the volunteer.
