France shung Saturday, December 17, day marked by dry but very cold weather in most of the country. The Minister for Housing, Olivier Klein, called on business leaders to make their unused premises available to homelessness, when they have them, as part of the cold cold plan.
The latter is triggered when the minimum temperatures felt descend to very low levels. It consists in opening emergency reception places in public buildings not provided for this purpose normally, such as gymnasiums or schools, in order to protect people without domicile.
“I make a call to business leaders who have offices that are no longer used, which could be made available quickly in favor of the homeless,” said Olivier Klein on France Inter . This is a call “to companies with unoccupied premises,” said the Minister’s entourage, who added that these places would then be “managed by the State, and the homeless accompanied by associations and authorized social workers “.
2,000 children on the street each evening
questioned about the estimate of associations that at least 2,000 children sleep on the street each evening, the minister replied that this was “difficult to quantify” and assured that the “mobilization” of the government was “without Faille “.
The cold cold plan to host more homeless people was launched in Paris on Monday, the regional prefects being invited to identify potential places to do the same. On Saturday, four regions in all had triggered this plan-Ile-de-France, Grand Est, Normandie, Rhône-Alpes-and at the same time 53 departments “strengthened” the maraudes, said the Minister’s entourage.
Prefects can also increase human and financial resources devoted to maraudes or 115, the emergency number for homeless people. In 2021, the collective Les Morts de la Rue identified at least 620 people homeless in public space.
After morning frosts in very severe places with most often – 7 degrees Celsius (° C) to – 3 ° C on the northern three -quarters of the country, and sometimes from – 10 ° C to – 8 ° C, Especially in the northeast, temperatures will often remain negative on Saturday on the northeast quarter, between-3 ° C and 1 ° C, according to the last bulletin of Météo-France.
They will not exceed 0 ° C at 2 ° C in Auvergne, in the north of the old Rhône-Alpes and in the rest of the northern half, with the exception of the Breton tip and the coast. They will still reach 6 ° C at 11 ° C on the South West and 10 ° C at 16 ° C on the Mediterranean periphery.
