| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the experience of the “Un lugar parador mir” (A Shelter) program, implemented by the Secretariat of Emergencies and Risk Management of the Province of Neuquén, designed to provide shelter and comprehensive support to people experiencing homelessness. Based on this experience, the paper proposes to address problematic substance use and homelessness from an ethical perspective of care, understanding care not only as assistance, but as a relational, situated, and political practice that allows for the restoration of dignity, empowers individuals to speak out, and rebuilds social bonds. The program is configured as a space for anchoring and opening up to care, supporting unique strategies of accompaniment and listening from a comprehensive, intersectoral perspective, with a focus on harm reduction. From a qualitative, descriptive-interpretive methodological approach, the work is oriented towards the systematization of a community-based intervention experience. It analyzes the limits and tensions of care, presence as a clinical act, and the relevance of practices that recognize the autonomy of individuals and promote social connection. The continuity of these types of devices is fundamental within the framework of public policies in the face of contexts of increasing vulnerability. |
