A possible alternative in cases where a definitive solution of adequate housing is not ready, is the support to the temporarily displaced through financial subsidies for access to housing units of third parties.
The monthly subsidy is equivalent to the amount of a rental to ensure the access of low income families to housing units, as a transient situation between the displacement and the return or resettlement. This measure is an alternative to avoid inadequate but often frequently used solutions, such as the provisional housing in containers or the transformation of temporary housing into permanent housing.
