Last winter, accommodation applications to the 115 by single women has increased, according to the synthesis of FNARS.
The precariousness affects women hard. Published Monday, synthesis FNARS (national reception and reintegration associations Federation) provided an update on the number of calls made to 115, the dedicated number for emergency shelter requests. Between November and March, 65,000 people made up that number.
Of these, nearly 7500 women alone. A number up 13% from last winter (2014-2015). Significant increases concern the federation.
Young women more vulnerable
in addition to their growing numbers, women are “proportionally younger than the general population of 115 callers,” explains the Federation in a statement. In the winter of 2014 and 2015, 28% of appellants women between 18 and 24 years. But as explained FNARS this age only concerns 16% of callers on Paris and the 45 departments studied (1). A figure that worries Federation denouncing a “serious lack of housing solutions (…) and protection of particularly vulnerable persons.” In addition, a homeless woman in three is accompanied by children with or without a spouse, according to INSEE.
However, the figures FNARS show a decrease in requests for accommodation (-4%). More than half of the past will end in failure for lack of space.
The Federation therefore calls for the “need the most urgent to build very social housing and open accommodation (..) with social support.”
