For seven years now, Paris City Hall has been counting the number of homeless Parisians during the Nuit de la Solidarité (Night of Solidarity), orchestrated with the help of associations. To do this, some 2,000 volunteers and social workers criss-cross the streets, RATPmetro stations , SNCF train stations, underground parking lots, the Bois de Boulogne and Vincennes woods, and the outskirts of the Paris ring road, to meet homeless people, count them and offer them support. This year, the event will take place on January 25, 2024.
Every year, the Paris City Hall has a shortage of volunteers to carry out this important mission, and appeals to Parisians who wish to take part. Registration is open to anyone over 18 until next January. The aim of the Nuit de la Solidarité is to gain a better understanding of the profiles and needs of the homeless, in order to adapt the capital's emergency and social services and accommodation needs.
3015 people sleeping outdoors in Paris were counted in 2023, far more than the previous year. An additional 618 people were counted in the participating communes of the Greater Paris metropolitan area . As in 2022, some thirty communes in Seine-Saint-Denis and Hauts-de-Seine will be joining the event, in addition to the capital.
