Olivier Klein, Minister of Housing, wants to improve the census of homeless people. In the midst of the housing crisis, he wants to have a more precise vision of the situation.
The homeless – people who live on the streets, tents, parks or woods, places of public transport, camps – number just under 5,000 (2,600 in Paris) In addition, 12,000 people from the EU were living in "slums" on 31 December 2022 in metropolitan France.
