Overview
- The annual report counts more than 1.1 million people without a personal dwelling, including about 350,000 with no domicile and roughly 600,000 hosted by third parties.
- The Foundation tallies 4.2 million people without housing or badly housed nationwide, alongside 12.3 million facing housing precarity.
- Indicators worsened in 2025 with a record 25,000 evictions enforced by police, rising street mortality to 912 deaths in 2024, and 35% of households reporting cold homes.
- Demand for social housing has climbed to 2.8–2.9 million applicants, with calls for rent caps, increased social construction, and strict SRU enforcement; the rent‑control experiment is also set to expire in November.
- As municipal races near, the Foundation highlights constrained ‘hébergement chez un tiers’ as a largely invisible pathway toward homelessness, echoed by testimonies and DAL’s warning it is the “last step before the street.”
