In the absence of protection and a safe home, and the discrimination aggravated by factors such as religious ideologies, the Waves Ahead organization is developing housing projects aimed at these populations while bills to amend local laws are in limbo.

An investigation by Puerto Rico's Centro de Periodismo Investigativo and El Nuevo Día identified a pattern of discrimination against these populations in long-term care centers and elderly homes due, in part, to the lack of professional training and guidance from the Family and Housing departments.
