Barcelona groups have warned that 259 families with patients could lose their homes in 2025, a situation they say would make it harder to reach hospitals and keep up with treatment.
The alert points to a social and health problem at the same time, with housing insecurity affecting people who already need regular medical care. In Barcelona, campaigners say the risk of eviction could add more pressure to families already dealing with illness.
The issue has been raised by local groups, who are calling attention to the link between housing and healthcare. For readers following related local coverage, see our Community page for more Barcelona stories.
The warning also underlines how housing problems can affect daily life well beyond rent payments. When a family is at risk of losing its home, the impact can reach school routines, work, and access to appointments.
