Homeless
Yoon & Yang strives to resolve issues related to the right to survival and housing for the homeless, who are a vulnerable housing group, to ensure they can lead a minimally decent human life.
The UN defines homeless individuals not only as those without a home but also those living in inadequate housing or lacking stable housing. The absence of safe housing affects a person’s health, job opportunities, and social relationships, and is closely linked to social issues such as conflicts arising from wealth disparities and lonely deaths. Yoon & Yang aims to build a minimum safety net and support self-reliance for vulnerable housing groups through various policy proposals and solidarity activities.
