The new poor emerge in Chile's uncertain future
In Santiago, the new poor form a growing, militant yet politically independent force shaping Chile’s path from military to civilian rule. Surveys show 5 percent poor, 30 percent indigent, with 16 percent unemployment and 40 percent of youths 15 to 24 jobless or out of school. Self-help groups, many linked to the Catholic Church, mobilize around hunger relief, housing, and basic rights while avoiding party alignment.

Judge halts eviction of Baltimore squatter amid buyout dispute
A circuit court judge blocked the city from evicting Morning Sunday, the West Baltimore woman renovating a long vacant brownstone on Franklin Square, unless the city sells the property. The ruling cites alleged misrepresentation by city officials and urges equal treatment of Sunday's bid to purchase the building from the Neighborhood Progress Administration. The judge questioned city goals, noting Sunday aims to restore the home while officials want to convert it into apartments or sell to a developer.
