* **Summary**:
  * Over the last years, in Spain investment funds have been buying companies that were providing services to the homeless after a wave of privatisation. In Spain, Corpfin Capital now manages the Samur Social and "the majority" of shelter centres, according to the article. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, these service providers were not able to properly deal with the crisis.
