In coordination with the Jalisco Regional Prosecutor's Office and Municipal Public Security, twenty-two homeless people were attended to, providing them with comprehensive support.

Under the mandate of the president of the Puerto Vallarta DIF System, Maria de Jesus Lopez Delgado, to attend to vulnerable sectors, this Tuesday in coordination with the Jalisco Regional Prosecutor's Office and Municipal Public Safety, authorities of the welfare agency carried out the fourth inter-institutional tour in the romantic zone of the Emiliano Zapata neighborhood, in which they registered twenty-two files of homeless people who were offered comprehensive support and social assistance in case they required it.

During the operation, through the area of Social Work, the Coordination of Child Protection and the Coordination of the Legal area, with the support of the agencies involved, people who were in street situations were approached in the Lázaro Cárdenas Park, Cuale River Island, the Malecon area and streets of the neighborhood, conducting an investigation on their situation, so they proceeded to a direct interview and were invited to receive support.

Twenty-two homeless people were detected, of which one of them said he was originally from another state, and agreed to receive attention, so he was provided with food support, paperwork and transportation to his home in order to prevent him from continuing to be exposed, and to have a better quality of life.

In this regard, the director of the DIF System, Roberto Ramos Vázquez, said that the tours will continue throughout the municipality, seeking to reduce the rate of homeless people and have an updated census, as well as continue working on a comprehensive project in coordination with the various agencies in order to provide better living conditions and guarantee their rights to people in homelessness.

It should be noted that various situations were detected in people in street conditions during the approach, such as mental health cases, consumption of illicit substances, abandonment, alcoholism, lack of opportunities, among others, which will be identified and referred to the appropriate agencies.
