We see them without seeing them. Men, women, sometimes also children, who live in extreme precariousness. But how many are sleeping on the street? Not finding a place in emergency accommodation? To find out, every year, the Paris City Hall organizes a major operation to count homeless people, as part of “the night of solidarity”.
Three hundred and fifty-five teams criss-cross Paris for this exceptional night. A count with which, for the first time, a dozen municipalities around Paris and the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee) are associated.
