In Champigny-sur-Marne, associations and opposition denounce a lack of accommodation for the homeless. Volunteers and elected officials are worried about periods of extreme cold.

They criticize the dismantling of camps by the city and call for the city to do more to help. “We had to take Jacques to the hospital with frostbite which even prevented him from walking, while another homeless person was found dead,” says Géraldine Aati, who manages the association.
