Wednesday, 08 April 2009
ImageThough France’s endless winter is finally thawing, for tens of thousands spring time marks the beginning of another cold spell: evictions and the wild goose chase for a new place to sleep. People waiting for years to get into public housing, those living in unsafe conditions, the homeless, and those crammed into dilapidated hotels make up the over three million people in France classified as mal-logés, or the ‘poorly housed.’ French housing laws prohibit evictions during the winter, thus for the mal-logés, the season’s changing brings little relief.
