The High Committee for the Right to Housing, which brings together around thirty organizations, launched the "Lyon Appeal" on Friday urging the public authorities to "choose humanism", 15 years after the vote on the Dalo law.
“Rather than the law of the strongest, we choose humanism.
Because a society that leaves its own people to die in the streets is a society on the way to barbarism.
Let us act to bring hope”, considers the High Committee in this “appeal”.
A poignant text
The text was read by Lou-Jayne Hamida, member of the National Council of Persons Received and/or Accompanied (CNPA- body for participation in policies to combat poverty, supported by the Salvation Army Foundation).
She herself fought a "2,265 day" fight to find housing after being evicted with her four children.
300,000 homeless people in France
The High Committee notably brings together the Abbé Pierre Foundation, ATD Quart-Monde, Habitat & Humanisme, Emmaüs, the National Federation of Social Samus, the association Droit au Logement and Secours Catholique.
According to him, in 2019, "16,700 households were evicted with the intervention of the police and a bailiff".
"Three hundred thousand people are homeless, around 40,000 are homeless and nearly two die every day from the consequences of this life (589 deaths in 2020)", deplores the High Committee, adding that "HLM production has fallen since 2016 and has never been so low for 15 years (95,000 approvals in 2021)”.
