Squatters' networks

Squatters' networks refer to communities formed by people who occupy unused or abandoned properties without legal permission. These networks often emerge when individuals seek housing in areas where affordable options are scarce. Members share resources, knowledge, and support to advocate for their rights, improve living conditions, and sometimes negotiate with property owners or authorities. Such networks can foster a sense of solidarity, helping individuals and families create stable living situations despite legal challenges. They may engage in activism to address housing issues, highlighting broader social concerns about homelessness and urban development.
