4,150,000 people are poorly housed in France, i.e. they live in unhealthy or unsuitable places… 330,000 of them are homeless: their life resembles an obstacle course between rooms hotels, temporary accommodation centers, makeshift shelters, when they are not simple boxes placed on the sidewalk.
The number of homeless people has more than doubled in ten years, tripled in twenty years. Around this hard core of great precariousness gravitate more than ten million people also confronted, in one way or another, with the housing crisis. These figures are taken from the annual report of the Abbé Pierre foundation presented yesterday (February 1, 2023). An observation: the badly housed are more and more numerous and more and more vulnerable in France. The foundation denounces in particular the insufficiency of the efforts put in place by the State and their poor distribution. Her report also examines for the first time the particular vulnerability of women to the risk of poor housing.
