Abstract:
Homeless people are a vulnerable group resulting from poverty, urbanization, and socioeconomic inequality in urban areas. The Indonesian government has sought to provide shelters as temporary housing, but existing facilities are often inadequate and have not been integrated with long-term rehabilitation services such as social welfare homes. This situation creates a gap in the system for addressing homelessness, particularly regarding limitations in capacity, uneven distribution of shelters, and a lack of coordination among social agencies. This study aims to analyze the needs and role of a shelter model that combines basic protection, social rehabilitation, and supportive care as a solution to homelessness
