Cuauhtémoc mayor's office assists 45 homeless individuals, removes 73 tons of trash

The Cuauhtémoc mayor's office reported on a public space recovery brigade that assisted 45 individuals experiencing homelessness and removed 73 tons of garbage. The operation targeted 41 locations across the alcaldía.

In 17 of these locations, outreach efforts were made to engage with people living on the streets. The remaining sites were monitored to prevent the re-establishment of encampments. Of the 45 individuals assisted, 39 were men and six were women. They were offered medical services, guidance, and voluntary entry into the city's shelter network.

Additionally, the demarcation reported the removal of 73 tons of accumulated trash and debris from various public areas. This waste had been obstructing sidewalks and creating public health issues. Mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega stated that addressing this problem requires a permanent and coordinated effort from different levels of government to support individuals experiencing homelessness and reclaim public spaces.

The brigades involved participation from the Secretariat of Welfare and Social Equality (SIBISO), the Institute for the Care of Priority Populations (IAPP), the Human Rights Commission of Mexico City, the Tourist Police, Civil Protection personnel, Medical Services, and Auxiliary Police Sector 64 Orion of the Cuauhtémoc mayor's office.
