“Solidarity Night”: Paris counts its homeless

Solidarity Night Paris counts its homeless

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.
