The head of the organization has expressed concern over the worsening social emergency, estimating that over 500 people are abandoned on the streets. He criticizes the perception of an administration that does not prioritize the well-being of the most disadvantaged.

Although it has been noted that part of the homeless population comes from other municipalities, the Social Work representative emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to this problem, mentioning cases of people living in substandard housing in areas such as San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Los Riscos, and the Guiniguada ravine.

The organization laments that subsidies are not arriving in a timely manner, forcing them to take out loans and incur interest that depletes available funds. It highlights that the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council has not updated its subsidy amount since 2007, unlike the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and the Government of Canarias, which do adjust their contributions to the CPI and are more prompt with payments.

Currently, the Social Work assists 150 people who stay overnight at its facilities and 200 with food and meal services. The annual budget exceeds three million euros, covering services such as the Casa Hogar, dining room, laundry, and training workshops. Private donations, food chain foundations, the Food Bank, parishes, neighborhood associations, and agreements with markets and the Port of Las Palmas are crucial sources of income, along with its eight second-hand shops and two bookstores.

The head of the organization, with a previous career at San Juan de Dios, recounts that the idea for the Social Work arose from observing the large number of homeless people in the city in the 1980s, many of them young people needing training and support to get off the streets. Despite acknowledging the beauty of Canarias and the quality of its people, he warns about the growing social inequality affecting the population.
