Over 2,300 children homeless in France, numbers continue to rise

The number of children experiencing homelessness in France has surpassed 2,300, marking a continuous upward trend since 2022. This stark reality underscores a persistent failure to address child homelessness, despite repeated government promises.

A recent barometer published by Unicef and the Federation of Solidarity Actors highlights the escalating crisis. The figures reveal a growing population of minors without stable housing, a situation that contradicts official commitments to eradicate the problem.

Despite governmental assurances aimed at achieving the objective of "zero child homelessness," the data indicates a worsening situation on the ground. The ongoing rise in numbers suggests that current policies and interventions are insufficient to protect the most vulnerable.

This persistent issue raises serious questions about the effectiveness of measures taken to support homeless children and families. The continued increase in their numbers points to systemic challenges that require urgent and more robust solutions.
