In its annual report, the Abbé-Pierre Foundation paints a sombre picture of housing in France, with a decline in access to public housing, which it blames on what it claims are President Emmanuel Macron’s poor housing policies, exacerbated by the Covid crisis.
Some 300,000 people in France are homeless, twice as many as in 2014, according to the Foundation, which estimates 4.1 million people are precariously housed.
